حسن تو همیشه در فزون باد

May your beauty be ever increasing;

رویت همه ساله لاله‌گون باد

may your face be the colour of tulips all year long.

اندر سر ما خیال عشقت

In my head, the thought of your love,

هر روز که باد در فزون باد

every day there is, may it increase.

هر سرو که در چمن درآید

Every cypress that comes into the meadow,

در خدمت قامتت نگون باد

may it bow down in service to your stature.

چشمی که نه فتنه تو باشد

Any eye that is not enchanted by you,

چون گوهر اشک غرق خون باد

may it, like the pearl of a tear, be drowned in blood.

چشم تو ز بهر دلربایی

May your eye, for the stealing of hearts,

در کردن سحر ذوفنون باد

be master of every art in working magic.

هر جا که دلیست در غم تو

Wherever there is a heart in grief for you,

بی صبر و قرار و بی سکون باد

may it be without patience, without rest or calm.

قد همه دلبران عالم

May the stature of all the heart-stealers in the world

پیش الف قدت چو نون باد

be bent like a nun before the alif of your stature.

هر دل که ز عشق توست خالی

Every heart that is empty of love for you,

از حلقه وصل تو برون باد

may it be shut out from the circle of union with you.

لعل تو که هست جان حافظ

Your ruby lip, which is the very soul of Hafez,

دور از لب مردمان دون باد

may it be far from the lips of the base.
