If I could, I would inscribe the dust from my beloved's feet

On the slate of my sight, I would draw a dusty line

I became drowned in the scent of your presence, and I hope

That the wave of my tears will bring me to your side

If I reach his butterfly in seeking my life

Like a candle, I will surrender my life in a moment

Today, do not turn away from my loyalty and think

Of that night when I raised my hands in prayer out of sorrow

Your black hair consoled the lovers

Gave them assurance and took my stability

O wind, bring me a breeze from that wine

For its healing scent will cure my hangover

If my friend does not weigh my heart's worth

I will count the flowing currency from my eyes at that moment

Do not shake the dust off of me, for after me

The wind cannot take my dust away from this door

Hafez, her ruby lips are as dear to me as life itself

It would be a lifetime in that moment when I bring my life to my lips
