Preface
The translations appearing in this collection are by Henry Wilberforce Clarke who used the
Upjohn’s Calcutta version (1791) of Divan of Hafez in 1891. The original Calcutta edition had a
number of mistakes and it is verified that some of the poems do not belong to Hafez and are added
afterwards. The most reliable edition of Divan is published at Tehran in 1320/1941 under the
editorship of Mirza Mohammad Qazvini and Dr Qasem Ghani. This edition has admitted 495
ghazals as unquestionably genuine, beside 3 qasidehs, 2 mathnavis, 34 occasional pieces
(muqatta’at) and 42 robais, a total of 573 poems. I have selected those poems that appear in
Qazvini and Ghani edition and partially rewritten some of the translations to be more poetic and
understandable.

Ho! O Saki, pass around and offer the bowl:
For love at first appeared easy, but difficulties have occurred.
By reason of the perfume of the musk-pod, that, at the end, the breeze displayeth from
that fore-lock,
From the twist of its musky curl, what blood befell the hearts!
In the stage of the Beloved, mine what ease and pleasure, when momently,
The beil giveth voice, saying: “Bind ye up the chattels of existence!”
With wine, becolor the prayer-mat if the Pir of the Magians bid thee;
For of the way and usage of the stages not without knowledge is the holy traveler.
The dark night, and the fear of the wave, and the whirlpool so fearful.
The light-burdened ones of the shore, how know they our state?

The rectitude of work, where? and, I ruined where?
Behold the distance of the Path, from where to where?
From the Friend’s face, what gaineth the dark heart of enemies?
The dead lamp, where? The candle of the resplendent sun, where?
Look not at the apple of the chin; for in the path is a pit:
O heart! where goest thou? With this haste, where?

If that Bold One of Shiraz gain our heart,
For His dark mole, I will give Samarkand and Bukhara.
Said! give the wine remaining; for, in Paradise, thou wilt not have
The bank of the water of the Ruknabad nor the rose of the garden of Musalla.
Alas! These saucy dainty ones sweet of work, the torment of the city,
Take patience from the heart even as the men of Turkistan the tray of plunder.
Thou spakest ill of me; and I am happy. God Most High forgive thee thou spakest well:
The bitter reply suiteth the ruby lip, sugar-eating.
The tale of minstrel and of wine utter; little seek the mystery of time;
For this mystery, none solved by skill; and shall not solve.
Thou utteredest a ghazal; and threadedest pearls. Hafez! come and sweetly sing
That, on thy verse, the sky may scatter the cluster of the Pleiades.

O breeze! with softness speak to the beautiful fawn,
Saying: Thou hast given to us desire for the mountain and the desert.
O rose! perhaps the pride of beauty hath not given thee permission,
That thou makest no inquiry as to the state of the distraught nightingale.

For God’s sake. O pious ones! forth from the hand, goeth my heart. For God’s sake:
O the pain that the hidden mystery should be disclosed.
For the space of ten days, the sphere’s favor is magic and sorcery:
O friend! regard as booty, goodness in friends.
Last night in the assembly of the rose and of wine, the bulbul sweetly sang:
O Saki! give wine: O intoxicated ones! come to life!
That bitter wine, which the Sufi called “The mother of iniquities,”
To us, is more pleasant and more sweet than the kisses of virgins.

That thou mayst see the brightness of the wine of ruby hue.

rose:

The splendor of youth’s time again belongeth to the garden;
The glad tidings of the rose reacheth the bulbul sweet of song.
O thou that drawest, over the moon, the polo of purest ambergris,
Make not distraught of state, me of revolving head.
Forth from the house of the sphere, go; and bread, seek not.
For, in the end, this dark cup slayeth the guest.

Last night from the Masjed towards the wine tavern our Pir came:
O friends of the Path! after this, what is our plan?
In the bond of His tress, how happy is the Heart! If Wisdom know,
In pursuit of our tress-chain, the wise will become distraught.
Beyond the sphere passeth the arrow of our sigh. Hafez! silence.
Show compassion to thy soul; avoid the arrow of ours.

Saki! with the light of wine, up-kindle the cup of ours.
Minstrel! speak, saying: “The world’s work hath gone to the desire of ours.”
In the cup, we have beheld the reflection of the face of the Beloved
O thou void of knowledge of the joy of the perpetual wine-drinking of ours.
The coy glance and the grace of those straight of stature till
With grace, moving like a lofty pine-tree, cometh the cypress of ours.
The green sea of sky, and the bark of the new moon,
Are immersed in the favor of Haji Kivam of ours.

O! the splendor of the moon-beauty from the illumined face of Thine!
The lustre of beauteousness from the chin-dimple of Thine!
Along with the wind, send from Thy cheek a handful of roses:
It may be that I may perceive a perfume from the dust of the rose garden of Thine.
When by us, Thou passest, from dust and from blood keep far thy skirt:
For, on this Path many a one hath become a sacrifice of Thine.

To the gently nurtured one, asleep on the royal ermine, what grief,
If, should make the couch of thorn; and, the pillow of the hard stone, the poor stranger.
O thou in the chain of whose tress, are the souls of so many lovers,
Happily, fell that musky mole, on thy colored cheek, so strange.

The great curve that, into the bow, thy told eye-brow cast,
In design of the blood of me, miserable, powerless, it cast.
Not the picture of the two worlds was, when was the color of love:
Not at this time, Love’s foundation, did Time cast.
Through austerity, I should never have seen the wine or the minstrel.
Into this and into that, desire for young Magians cast.

In this house, was a fire, that the house consumed.
Behold the heart’s burning! For, from the great fire of my tears, the candle’s heart,
Last night, from Love’s desire, like the moth, consumed.
O Admonisher! make little talk; come back. For, the man of my eye
Plucked, from off my head, the religious garment; and, in thanks, consumed.

For the breath of resolution of us hath made thee free of the bond.
In the foot of thy arrival, is the joy of the people of the assembly
Griefs place be every heart that joy wisheth thee not!
Far, the evil eye! For, from that separation, happily brought back
Thee, renowned fortune and mother-born luck.

The fire of Toor where? The time and the place of promise of beholding is where?
The cup, and the minstrel, and the rose, all are ready.
But, ease without the Beloved is not attainable. The Beloved is where?
Hafez! grieve not of the autumn wind in the sward of the world:
Exercise reasonable thought. The rose without the thorn is where?

And said: “Sit not with me; for, from thee, safety hath risen.”
Of whom heardest thou, who at this banquet, hath awhile sat happy:
Who, at the end of the companionship, not in remorse hath risen.
If, with its tongue, the candle expressed a boast of that laughing face
In fine, nights before thy lovers, it hath risen.
In the sward, from the border of the rose and the cypress, the spring breeze,
In longing for that cheek and stature of Thine, hath risen.

For, from the religious garment of hypocrisy and of miracle, fire hath risen.

Yet, with desire, full of that voice, the plain of my heart is?

The pomp of being an Asaf, the wind-steed, and the language of birds
Went to the wind; and from them, the Khwaja obtained no profit.

Notwithstanding the sweet sounds of its guggling, its throat bound.

What men of our closed circle call “the Night of Power” to-night is.
O Lord! from what constellation, this effect of fortune is?
In order that the hand of those unfit may rarely reach Thy trees,
Every heart, in the circle, in the prayer of “O Lord! O Lord!” is.
Behold the reflection of sweat on His cheek! For the sun, ardent of face.
As long as it is, daily in desire of this sweat, ardent is.
I will not abandon the ruby lip of the Beloved, nor the wine-cup,
Zaheds! hold me excused: for, my religious order, this is.

From my heart and the heart of the bird of the sward. He took ease,
When, in the morn, the heart of both in lament for thee, He established.
From our work, and from the heart of the rose-bud, a hundred knots it loosed,
When, in desire of thee, its own heart the breeze of the rose established.
l said: “On account of thy violence, I shall depart from the city:”
Laughing, the beloved spake saying: “Hafez! go Thy foot, who established?”

Me, Jibrail of the invisible world gave tidings how glad,
Suffer not grief for the World: take not my counsel from thy mind:
For, from a wayfarer, I recollect t his sweet saying:

The diagnosis, we have made: certain is the cure.
Forth from the threshold of the Pir of wine-sellers, why draw I my head?
In this his head, is fortune; in this his door, tranquility.
Last night, He gave promise; and, in His head, had the wine:
To-day, let us see what He saith; in His head is what.
Shiraz and the water of Ruknabad, and the breeze of pleasant air,
Them, contemn not; for they are the lustre of adornment of seven territories of the

Up to our water, whose fountain is Allah-u Akbar.

In the veil of glass, and in the screen of the grape, it is.
Bring wine; for, as Hafez, the asking God for aid always
In weeping in the morning-time, and in supplication at midnight is.

O nightingale! bewail if, the desire of being a lover with me, thine is.
For, we two are, weeping lovers; and our work, weeping is.
In that land where bloweth the fragrant breeze from the Beloved’s tress,
For boasting of the musk-pods of Tatar, what room is.
To devise the fancy for Thy tress, is not the work of immature ones:
To go beneath the chain, the way of a bold one is.
The person’s beauty is not the eye, nor the tress, nor the cheek, nor the mole;
In this matter many a thousand subtlety, heart-possessing is.

For the sake of shade, endure not the favor of the Sidra and the Tuba tree

If the true Beloved sate not with us beggars, room for complaint is none;
King, prosperous was He; shame of beggars, He held.
Our supplication and entreaty affect not the Friend possessed of beauty,
Happy he, who from beloved ones, the fortune of prosperity held.
Arise! so that on the reed of that Painter, we may scatter our soul;
For, all this wonderful picture, in the revolution of His compass, Lie held.

The way of paradise, beneath which streams are flowing, held.

Of a long life that without the presence of a goglet and of the cup hath passed
To the heart that was dead, a great life reached the soul,
Since into its perfume-place a perfume, from Thy breeze, hath passed.
The cash of the heart that was mine became expended in wine:
It was counterfeit coin. Therefore into the unlawful it hath passed.
Like aloe-wood, how long can one consume in the torment of repentance?
Give wine. For life in the essence of raw madness hath passed.
Again counsel not Hafez; for the path of austerity, found not,
A lost one, to whose palate the sweet wine hath passed.

The work of the lamp of the Khilvatis again kindled.
The true Beloved gave that glance, such that piety departed from the path,
And the Friend exercised that kindness, that the enemy caution took.
The load of that great grief that had wounded our heart,
God sent one of Isa-breath: up, he took.
Every cypress-stature, that boasted beauty over the sun and the moon,
When Thou camest, the pursuit of other work took.
Full of clamour of this tale, are the seven vaults of the sky.
Behold the short-sighted one who, the tale short, took!

Made thy verse an amulet; and it, into gold, took.

Since, from thy hand, will go profit and loss and capital,
Say: “For this matter, neither noyous nor joyous be!”
In thy hand is only wind, if thou place thy heart on any thing:
In a meeting-place where to the wind, Soleiman’s throne goeth.
