We placed the lesson of dawn on the path to the tavern

We set the result of prayer on the path to the beloved

It burns the harvest of a hundred wise ascetics

This scar that we placed on the mad heart

The eternal king gave us the treasure of love's sorrow

So we set our face in this ruined abode

I will not let the love of idols enter my heart after this

We placed the seal of his lips on the door of this house

One cannot be a hypocrite in this cloak any longer

We established the foundation of this rogue's way

As this wandering ship goes, in the end

We placed our life on that one precious pearl

Praise be to God that like us, without heart and faith

We named that one as wise and sage

We were content with a thought of you, like Hafez

O Lord, what a beggar's ambition and stranger's disposition we set
