Suddenly you rent the veil, what does it mean
?
Locks in hand, the morning breeze, rivals obey
Serving all others to such detail, what does it mean
?
King of the Good, mendicants to you pray
,
Made your throne into a jail, what does it mean
?
At first, in my hands, your locks you lay
,
Later on, you make me frail, what does it mean
?
Your loins talk in riddles and your words secrets say
;
Cut me in the middle, to what avail? What does it mean
?
You lure us with Love, and like pawns, you play
Each piece you play, you fail, what does it mean
?
O Hafiz, if your lover into your heart finds her way
Familiar is your trail, and your tale, what does it mean
?
