O you who show no mercy in killing us,

You burn profit and capital and show no regard.

Those afflicted with pain possess the deadly poison of helahil,

Intending (harm) to these people is a mistake, be careful not to do it.

Who can remove our suffering with a single glance?

It is not a condition of fairness that you do not cure (us).

Since our eyes are like a sea in hope of you, why

Do you not pass for a stroll on the seashore?

Whatever injustice they have attributed to your noble nature,

Are the words of biased people; you do not do those (injustices).

If our witness (beloved) reveals herself to you, O ascetic,

You will desire nothing from God except wine and the beloved.

O Hafez, prostrate yourself to his eyebrow like a mihrab,

For you will offer no prayer sincerely except there.
