O Bearer bring the wine that brings joy	A
To increase generosity let perfection buoy	B
Give me some for I have lost my heart	C
Both traits from me have kept apart	C
Bring the wine whose reflection in the cup	D
Signals to all the kings whose times are up	D
Give me wine and with the reed flute I will sing	E
When was Jamshid and when Kavoos was king	E
Bring me the elixir whose grace and alchemy	B
Bestows treasures from bonds of time sets free	B
Give me so they'll open the doors once again	F
Of long life and the bliss that will remain	G
Bearer give the wine that the Holy Grail	H
Will make claims of sight in the Void and thus fail	H
Give me so that I with the help of the Grail	H
All secrets like Jamshid themselves avail	H
Speak of the tale of the wheel of fate	I
proclaim to the kings and heroes of late	I
This broken world is in the same state	I
As seen by Afrasiab the mighty the great	I
Whence his mobilizing army generals	J
Whence cunning heroes' war cries and calls	K
Not only his palace has gone to the dust	L
Even his tomb is destroyed and long lost	M
This barren desert is in the same stage	N
As the armies of Salm Toor were lost in its rage	N
	-
Bring the wine whose reflection in the cup	D
Signals to all the kings whose times are up	D
Well said Jamshid the old majestic king	E
Worthless is this transient stage and ring	E
Come Bearer that fire radiant bright	O
Zarathushtra beneath the earth seeks so right	O
Give me wine in the creed of the drunk	P
Whether fire worshipper or worldly monk	P
Come Bearer that wholesome drunk	P
Who is forever in the tavern sunk	P
Give me ill repute bring to my name	Q
The cup and the wine I shall only blame	Q
Bring Bearer the water that burns the mind	R
If lion drinks forest will burn and grind	R
Courageous I'll go hunting lions of fate	I
Mess up this old wolf's trap and bait	I
Bring Bearer that high heavenly wine	S
That angels with their scent would entwine	S
Give me wine I'll burn it like sweet incense	T
Its wise aroma I will sense now and hence	T
Bearer give me the wine that makes kings	U
Witnessing its virtues my heart sings	U
Give me wine to wash away all my flaws	V
Joyous rise above this rut's deadly claws	V
When the spiritual garden is my abode	W
Why have me bound to a board on this road	W
Give me wine and then see the Ruler's face	X
Ruin me see treasures of wisdom and grace	X
And when I hold the cup in my hand	Y
In the mirror everything I understand	Y
In my drunken state kingship proclaim	Q
A monarch when I am drunken and lame	Q
	-
Drunken pearls of wisdom unveil	H
In hiding secrets the selfless fail	H
Hafiz drunken songs will compose	Z
From its melody Venus' song flows	Z
O singer with the sound of the stream	A2
Of that majestic song muse and dream	A2
Till I make my work joy and ecstasy	B
I will dance and play with robe of piety	B
Given a crown and throne by his fate	I
The fruit of the kingly tree of this estate	I
Ruler of the land and Lord of the time	B2
The grand and fortunate King of the clime	B2
He is the greatness vested in the Throne	C2
comfort of bird and fish from Him alone	C2
For the blessed he is light of the eyes	D2
Yet he is the gift of the soul of the wise	D2
Behold O auspicious bird	E2
The happy inspiration to be heard	E2
The world has no pearls in its shells like Thee	B
Fereydoon and Jamshid had no heirs like Thee	B
Instead of Alexander be here many a year	F2
Know thy heart and discover joy is near	F2
But seditious fate many plans may devise	D2
Me and my drunkenness troubled by Beloved's eyes	D2
One for his work may pick up the sword	G2
Another's business only deals with the word	E2
	-
O Player play the song of the new creed	H2
To music of the stream tell to my rival breed	H2
Finally with my enemy I have a chance	I2
At victory in the skies I can glance	I2
O Player play something pleasing to the ear	J2
With a song and a Gahzal begin a story dear	F2
My sorrows have tied me to the ground	K2
Raise me with my principles that are sound	K2
O singer with the sound of the stream	B2
Play and sing that majestic song I dream	B2
Make the great souls happy with you	L2
Parviz and Barbad remember too	L2
O Player paint a picture of the veil	H
Listen inside they tell a tale	H
Sing a minstrel's song such	M2
That Venus' harp dances with her touch	M2
Play so the Sufi goes into a trance	I2
Drunken in Union leaves his stance	I2
	-
O Player tambourine and harp play	N2
With a lovely tune sing and sway	N2
Deceptions of the world make a vivid tale	H
The night is pregnant what will it entail	H
O Player I'm sad play one or two	L2
In his Oneness as long as you can play too	L2
I am astounded by the revolving fate	I
I don't know who will next degenerate	O2
And if the Magi set one on fire	P2
Don't know whose light will then expire	Q2
In this bloody resurrection field	R2
Let the cup and jug their blood yield	R2
To the drunk of a good song give a sign	S
To friends bygone a salutation divine	S
	-
Translated by Gertrude Bell	S2
