dil mi-rawad za-dastam saheb-dilan KHuda-ra
dil mī-ravad za-dastam sāheb-dilāñ ḳhudā-rā
dardā ki rāz-e-pinhāñ ḳhvāhad shud āshkārā
O pious of the heart, I am lost in a love, so great,
O pain the hidden secrets will become open debate.
kashtī shikastgānem ai bād-e-shurt bar-ḳhez
bāshad ki baaz bīnam aañ yār-e-āshnā rā
Shipwrecked we just float, O favorable wind arise,
May we one more time gaze upon that familiar trait.
āshā.ish-e-do-getī tafsīr-e-īñ do-harfast
bā-dostāñ talattuf bā-dushmanāñ mudārā
For peace of this world and the next, understand what I advise,
Magnanimity the lot of friends, and with foes try to relate.
dar kū-e-nek-nāmī mā rā guzar na dādand
gar tū namī-pasandī taġh.īr kun qazā rā
In the land of repute, our passage they will dispute
this will not suit, don't stay mute, and transmute dictates of fate.
'hāfiz' ba-ḳhud na-poshīd iiñ ḳhirqa-e-mai-ālūd
ai sheḳh-e-pāk-dāman ma.azūr-dār mā rā
With this wine stained robe, Hafiz would never disguise,
O untainted pure Master, exempt us from this fate.
dil mi-rawad za-dastam saheb-dilan KHuda-ra
darda ki raaz-e-pinhan KHwahad shud aashkara
O pious of the heart, I am lost in a love, so great,
O pain the hidden secrets will become open debate.
kashti shikastganem ai baad-e-shurt bar-KHez
bashad ki baz binam aan yar-e-ashna ra
Shipwrecked we just float, O favorable wind arise,
May we one more time gaze upon that familiar trait.
aashaish-e-do-geti tafsir-e-in do-harfast
ba-dostan talattuf ba-dushmanan mudara
For peace of this world and the next, understand what I advise,
Magnanimity the lot of friends, and with foes try to relate.
dar ku-e-nek-nami ma ra guzar na dadand
gar tu nami-pasandi taghir kun qaza ra
In the land of repute, our passage they will dispute
this will not suit, don't stay mute, and transmute dictates of fate.
'hafiz' ba-KHud na-poshid in KHirqa-e-mai-alud
ai sheKH-e-pak-daman mazur-dar ma ra
With this wine stained robe, Hafiz would never disguise,
O untainted pure Master, exempt us from this fate.
