I have said many times and I will say again

That I am heartbroken and do not follow this path by myself

They have placed my image behind the mirror of the parrot

I say what the eternal master has said

If I am a thorn or a rose in the garden of beauty

I follow the hand that he draws

Friends, do not fault my heartless bewilderment

I have a gem and I seek a master of vision

Although it is a fault to be intoxicated with the polished cloak

I do not consider it a fault to take on the color of hypocrisy from him

The laughter and tears of lovers are from a different place

I sing at night and I am intoxicated at dawn

Hafez said that the dust of the tavern is not fragrant

Do not say it is a fault, for I smell the musk of Khotan
