Ghazal 065 from Divan of Hafez

What is sweeter than pleasure, companionship, gardens, and spring?
Where is the wine-server? Tell me, what is the reason for this delay?

Count every happy moment as precious,
For no one knows what the end of things will be.

Life is tied to a hair; be cautious.
Be the caretaker of yourself; what is the worry of the world?

The meaning of the water of life and the garden of Eden
Is nothing but the side of a stream and sweet wine.

The veiled and the intoxicated are both from the same tribe,
Why should we give our hearts to the coquetry of anyone?

What does the sky know of the secrets behind the veil, be silent!
O claimant, what is your quarrel with the veil-wearer?

If the mistakes and errors of a servant are not considered,
What is the meaning of the forgiveness and mercy of the Forgiver?

The ascetic asked for the wine of the celestial river, and Hafez asked for a cup,
So what is the middle ground between their requests?
