Drink the ruby wine and see the moon-faced beauties

Contrary to their faith, see the beauty of these ones

Underneath their patched cloaks, they have snares

See the long-handedness of these short-sleeved ones

They do not bow their heads to the harvest of both worlds

See the pride and arrogance of beggars and gleaners

For half a gesture, they demand a thousand lives

See the need of the devoted and the coquetry of the beloved

He disregarded the rights of our companionship and left

See the loyalty of companions and comrades

Becoming a captive of love is my solution for liberation

See the foresight of those who think of the end

The companionship of the friend removed the gloom from Hafez's heart

See the purity of the endeavor of the pure-hearted and the pious
