Ghazal 020 from Divan of Hafez

Fasting is done, the feast has come, and hearts are lifted high,
Wine from the tavern is bubbling, and wine must be sought.

The turn of the sanctimonious hypocrites has passed,
The time for the rogues to revel and rejoice is clear.

What blame is there for one who drinks such wine?
What fault is there in this foolishness, what error?

A wine drinker who has no hypocrisy or pretense
Is better than a hypocrite who seeks fame and position.

We are not hypocritical rogues or deceitful companions,
The one who knows the secret can testify to this.

Let us fulfill God's duty and do no harm to anyone,
And what they say is not right, we will not say is right.

What harm is there if you and I drink a few cups of wine?
Wine is from the blood of the wise, not from your blood.

What fault is there that will lead to a flaw?
And even if there is, so what? Where is the perfect person?
