You have waltzed with great style,
My sweet, crushed angel,
To have ever neared God's heart at all.

Our Partner is notoriously difficult to follow,
And even His best musicians
are not always easy To hear.

So what if the music has stopped for a while. So what
If the price of admission to the Divine
Is out of reach tonight.

So what, my dear,
If you do not have the ante
to gamble for Real Love.

The mind and the body are famous
For holding the heart ransom,
But Hafiz knows the Beloved's eternal habits.

Have patience,

For he will not be able to resist your longing For long.

You have not danced so badly, my dear,
Trying to kiss the Beautiful One.
