Listen to this advice to free yourself from sorrow

You will suffer if you do not seek sustenance

In the end, you will become the potter's clay

For now, think of filling the jug with wine

If you are among those who long for paradise

Enjoy life with a few angel-born beings

You cannot take the place of the greats by chance

Unless you prepare all the means for greatness

You will be rewarded, O king of the sweet-lipped ones

If you cast a glance at the love-stricken Farhad

When will your mind accept the stroke of grace, alas

Unless you make the scattered pages plain

If you leave your affairs to kindness, Hafez

How much joy you will have with God-given fortune

O morning breeze, serve Master Jalal al-Din

So that you may fill the world with lilies and free it
