No. 7: Me, righteousness, and health? No one would believe - That anyone would expect such from a tavern rogue.
شماره ۷: من و صلاح و سلامت؟ کس این گمان نبرد - که کس به رند خرابات، ظن آن نبرد
No one would suspect me of piety and integrity,
As no one would suspect a tavern libertine of such a thing.
من و صلاح و سلامت کس این گمان نبرد
که کس به رند خرابات ظن آن نبرد
I wear this old patched cloak for this reason,
So that when I drink wine beneath it, no one suspects.
من این مرقع دیرینه بهر آن دارم
که زیر خرقه کشم می کسی گمان نبرد
Do not be constantly proud of your knowledge and deeds, O jurist!
For no one can escape the decree of God.
مباش غره به علم و عمل، فقیه! مدام
که هیچکس ز قضای خدای جان نبرد
Although your watchful eye is your guard, O heart,
Be aware that your ready cash (life/opportunity) may not escape the guard (fate/time).
اگر چه دیده پاسبان تو ای دل
به هوش باش که نقد تو پاسبان نبرد
Do not utter words before a connoisseur of words, Hafez,
For no one takes pearls and gems as gifts to the sea or the mine.
سخن به نزد سخندان ادا مکن حافظ
که تحفه کس در و گوهر به بحر و کان نبرد
No. 7: Me, righteousness, and health? No one would believe - That anyone would expect such from a tavern rogue.
