\nare a cup of pure wine and a book of ghazals.
\nTravel lightly, the pass of salvation is narrow.
\nLift a glass, there is no substitute for this dear life.
\nI\u2019m not the only one in the world afflicted with idleness;
\nthe theologians also don\u2019t practice what they preach.
\nOn this turmoil-filled road the eye of reason
\nknows the world and its works are fleeting and worthless.
\nMy heart longed for union with you
\nbut on life\u2019s road death plunders the caravans of hope.
\nGrasp the curl of a moon -faced one and stop babbling
\nthat good luck and bad are the work of Venus and Saturn.
\nOur Hafiz is so drunk on the wine of pre-eternity
\nthat in no epoch will you ever find him sober\u200b.<\/p>\n
