For travelers (on the path of love), love is sufficient as a guide.

I have made the water of my eyes a pathway (a flowing stream) in its path.

How can our wave of tears be counted?

He who sailed a ship on the blood of the slain.

Do not invite me to paradise without wine and music.

Comfort is in wine, not in Salsabil (a spring in paradise).

My infamy is not by choice.

He who guides the path has led me astray in love.

Do not set the fire of the idols' faces within yourself.

Otherwise, pass through the fire like Khalil (Abraham).

Either impose (a burden) on yourself, so that you lose the destination.

Or do not set foot on this path without a guide.

Learn the customs of the elephant drivers.

Or do not give up India with the memory of an elephant.

Either do not draw the indigo of love on your face.

Or dye the garment of piety with indigo.

Hafez, if you have a meaning, bring it forth.

Otherwise, there is no claim other than empty talk.
