Cover the petal with the mask of the black hyacinth,

Meaning, cover your face and ruin the world.

Scatter the sweat from your face and around the garden,

Like the glasses of our eyes, fill them with rosewater.

As the days of the flower hasten like the passing of life,

The cupbearer quickly pours the red wine.

Open the way for the narcissus-like, drowsy drunkard,

And with the envy of the eyes of the beautiful narcissus, put him to sleep.

Listen to the scent of the violet and seize the tresses of the beloved,

Gaze at the color of the tulip and resolve to drink wine.

From where your custom and habit is to slay lovers,

Drink with the enemies and rebuke us.

Like a bubble, open your eye to the face of the cup,

And make this house resemble the essence of a bubble.

Hafez seeks union through the path of prayer,

O Lord, answer the prayers of the weary-hearted.
