O pious of the heart, I am lost in a love, so great
O pain the hidden secrets will become open debate
.
Shipwrecked we just float, O favorable wind arise,
May we one more time gaze upon that familiar trait
.
Passage of time and the stars, are but what we fantasize
For compassion and kindness, it is never too late
.
In the circle of wine and roses, nightingale"s song is prize
With the aroma and the wine your senses satiate
.
O Thou compassionate one, life giver and the wise
One day bestow thy grace upon this mendicant"s state
.
For peace of this world and the next, understand what I advise
Magnanimity the lot of friends, and with foes try to relate
.
In the land of repute, our passage they will dispute
If this will not suit, don"t stay mute, and transmute dictates of fate
.
When destitute and in need, let your love and passion breed
Life"s alchemy, essence and seed, unimagined wealth shall create
.
If unruly with pride, with a candle"s zeal your flame will rise
Beloved turns stone to lava, and molten wax manipulate
.
The Grail contains but wine, if only you realize
Then the Kingdom of the world, at your feet prostrate
.
The good and wise Magi, forgivers of lives and lies
Bearer bring good news, drunkards" wine consecrate
.
With this wine stained robe, Hafiz would never disguise
O untainted pure Master, exempt us from this fate.
