biya ta-gul bar afshanem-o-mi dar saghar andazem
biyā tā-gul bar afshānem-o-mī dar sāġhar andāzem
falak rā saqf ba-shigāfem-o-tarhī-e-nau dar-andāzem
Rose petals let us scatter, And fill the cup with red wine
The firmaments let us shatter, And come with a new design
agar ġham lashkar angezd ki ḳhūn-e-’āshiqāñ rezad
man-o-sāqī ba-ham tāzem-o-buniyādash bar-andāzem
If sorrow's soldiers incite, To shed lovers' blood tonight
With beloved I will unite, And his foundations malign
sharāb-e-arġhavānī rā gulāb andar qadah rezem
nasīm-e-’itr gardān rā shakar dar mijmar andāzem
Pour the red wine with control, Like rose-water into the bowl
While fragrant breeze will roll, And sweet incense refine
chu dar dast ast ruudī ḳhush ba-zan mutrib surūdī ḳhush
ki dast afshāñ ġhazal kHvānem-o-pākobān sar-andāzem
With a harp on display, We ask the players to play
While clapping we sing and say, And dancing, our heads decline
sabā ḳhāk-e-vujūd-e-mā budāñ 'aalī janāb andāz
buvad kaañ shāh-e-ḳhūbāñ rā nazar bar manzar andāzem
Blow our dust O gentle breeze, And throw at the Master's
knees
The Good King has the keys, While we glance at the sign
yake az 'aql mī-lāfad yake tāmāt mī-bāfad
biyā ki-īñ dāvarī-hā rā ba-pesh-e-dāvar andāzem
One boasts & brags with his mind, One weaves talks of idle kind
All the judgment that we find, Let the Judge weigh and define
bahisht-e-’adn agar ḳhvāhī biyā bā-mā ba-mai-ḳhāna
ki az pā-e-kHamat rozī ba-hauz-e-kausar andāzem
If Eden is what you need, To the tavern let us speed
The jug of wine let us heed, And Paradise will be thine
sukHan-dānī-o-kHush-kHvānī namī-varzind dar shīrāz
biyā 'hāfiz' ki tā ḳhud rā ba-mulke dīgar andāzem
Merry songs and fair speech, In Shiraz they do not teach
Another land let us reach, Hafiz, and then we shine
biya ta-gul bar afshanem-o-mi dar saghar andazem
falak ra saqf ba-shigafem-o-tarhi-e-nau dar-andazem
Rose petals let us scatter, And fill the cup with red wine
The firmaments let us shatter, And come with a new design
agar gham lashkar angezd ki KHun-e-’ashiqan rezad
man-o-saqi ba-ham tazem-o-buniyaadash bar-andazem
If sorrow's soldiers incite, To shed lovers' blood tonight
With beloved I will unite, And his foundations malign
sharab-e-arghawani ra gulab andar qadah rezem
nasim-e-’itr gardan ra shakar dar mijmar andazem
Pour the red wine with control, Like rose-water into the bowl
While fragrant breeze will roll, And sweet incense refine
chu dar dast ast rudi KHush ba-zan mutrib surudi KHush
ki dast afshan ghazal kHwanem-o-pakoban sar-andazem
With a harp on display, We ask the players to play
While clapping we sing and say, And dancing, our heads decline
saba KHak-e-wujud-e-ma budan 'ali janab andaz
buwad kan shah-e-KHuban ra nazar bar manzar andazem
Blow our dust O gentle breeze, And throw at the Master's
knees
The Good King has the keys, While we glance at the sign
yake az 'aql mi-lafad yake tamat mi-bafad
biya ki-in dawari-ha ra ba-pesh-e-dawar andazem
One boasts & brags with his mind, One weaves talks of idle kind
All the judgment that we find, Let the Judge weigh and define
bahisht-e-’adn agar KHwahi biya ba-ma ba-mai-KHana
ki az pa-e-kHamat rozi ba-hauz-e-kausar andazem
If Eden is what you need, To the tavern let us speed
The jug of wine let us heed, And Paradise will be thine
sukHan-dani-o-kHush-kHwani nami-warzind dar shiraaz
biya 'hafiz' ki ta KHud ra ba-mulke digar andazem
Merry songs and fair speech, In Shiraz they do not teach
Another land let us reach, Hafiz, and then we shine
