Ghazaliyat by Hafez, in audio recordings by شاپرک شیرازی
This khirka that I have in pledge for wine best ; This meaningless book immersed in pure wine (of ma'rifat) best.
From me, the beggar, to kings, who taketh a message, Saying: "In the street of the wine-sellers, (they sell) two thousand (mighty) Jamshids for a single cup of wine."
Alas ! full, full of pain is my heart, a plaister ! God ! through loneliness, to (giving up) life my heart hath come; a companion !
Time consider plunder to that degree that thou canst ; O soul ! the out-come of life is (only) this moment if thou knowest.
(O true Beloved !) Thy well-wisher, I am, and (this) I know that Thou knowest ; For, both the un-seen, Thou seest; and also the un-written (by fate), Thou readest.
Breeze of the morning of happiness ! for that trace that thou knowest, To a certain one's street, pass at that time that thou knowest.
Two friends (holy travellers) good of understanding, and of old wine a quantity, two " mans,' A little leisure, and a book, and a sward-corner.
O thou who, in our slaughter, mercy exercisest not Profit and capital, thou consumest ; manliness, thou showest not.
This my subtlety, hear that, free from grief, thyself thou mayst make; "Blood (of grief) thou drinkest, if search for victuals, not placed (intended for thee), thou makest."
O heart ! in the Beloved's street, passing thou makest not ; The chattels of conjunction, thou hast ; and a work thou doest not.
In the morning time, a way-farer, on the confines of a land, Kept saying this enigma to a companion :
Perchance, with desire (of khilvat) by the marge of a pool, thou sittest not, If not, every calamity, that thou experiencest, all thou experiences! from self-seeingness.
O Saki ! 'tis the shade of the cloud, and spring, and the stream-bank ; I say not, do what. Of the men of heart (Sufis), thou art. Do thou thyself say.
From the cypress-hough, in Pahlavi shout, the bulbul, Last night, the lesson of the stages of spirituality (the Masnavi of Jalalu-d-Din Rumi) kept saying :
O thou void of news (of love) ! strive that the master of news, thou mayst be : So long as way-farer thou art not, road-guide how (is it that) thou mayst be ?
O king of the lovely (the beloved) ones of the world ! for grief of being alone, justice ! Without Thee, to the soul, my heart hath come. Tis the time when thou shouldst come back; (and me safety, give).
