Lovers all to thine enjoyment Since thy beauty did invite
Lovers all to thine enjoyment Since thy beauty did invite,
For thy tress and mole, in ruin Fallen are they, heart and spright.
That which at the hand of sev'rance From thy presence lovers feel,
Saving Kerbela's athirst ones; Never suffered mortal wight.
If to winebibbing and toping Turn my fair one, o my soul,
Piety and sober living 'Twill behove thee leave forthright.
Springtide 'tis and pleasure's season And the time of drinking wine:
Seize the five days' fryst of Fortune, ere for ever it take flight.
Hafiz, if it be vouchsafed thee Her thy sov'reign's foot to kiss,
Both in this world and the other Find'st thou glory, rank and might.
For thy tress and mole, in ruin Fallen are they, heart and spright.
That which at the hand of sev'rance From thy presence lovers feel,
Saving Kerbela's athirst ones; Never suffered mortal wight.
If to winebibbing and toping Turn my fair one, o my soul,
Piety and sober living 'Twill behove thee leave forthright.
Springtide 'tis and pleasure's season And the time of drinking wine:
Seize the five days' fryst of Fortune, ere for ever it take flight.
Hafiz, if it be vouchsafed thee Her thy sov'reign's foot to kiss,
Both in this world and the other Find'st thou glory, rank and might.
