“O wine-bearer brighten my cup with the wine---O minstrel say good fortune is now mine---The face of my Beloved is reflected in my cup---Little you know why with wine, I always myself align---Eternal is the one whose heart has awakened to Love---This is how Eternal Records my life define---So proud are the tall beauties of the world---Outshines all the others this handsome spruce of mine---O breeze if by chance you pass through friendly gardens---From me to my Beloved, please give a sign---Ask why you choose to forget my name?---Will come the one to whom an audience you decline---Intoxication pleases my Beloved and my Lord---To the wine, they would assign, my life's design---What if on Judgment Day, no favor would be gained---From eating bread and leaving a forbidden water so fine?---Hafiz, let a tear drop or two leave your eyes---May we ensnare the Bird of Union, divine----The sea of the skies and the gondola of the moon---With the grace of the Master, radiantly shine”
