Hafiz - The one who loves



 Come, light up the cup with sparkling wine
For life is lovely, and everything is fine

In the wine reflected when I see your face
I feel exalted by the Divine Grace

Like cypress tree, when you swing and sway
The beauties you throw in disarray

The one who loves can never die
For love is eternal, no one can deny

From love, when drunk, you do not shrink
So happy are those with whom you drink

Don’t listen to the preacher who talks of sin
On the Judgment Day, our wine will win

O breeze of spring, to my darling tell
You touch her often; you know her well

“I still remember the day we met
Though you’ve forgotten, I cannot forget

“My fate it was, and I bore the cost
Regret I not having loved and lost

“If you don’t believe, and think I am a sham
Come talk to my patron, the generous Quam “

And think of your HAFIZ, and don’t say no
Come back to him, for he loves you so
