Mikhwah va gul afshan kun az dahr chi miguyi in guft sahargah gul bulbul chi miguyi

'Call for wine and scatter roses - what do you want with Time? Thus spoke the Rose at dawn. Nightingale, what do you say?
Take the cushion to the garden. You may grip the lip and kiss the cheek of the Beloved and the Cup-Bearer. You may drink the wine and smell the rose.
Move your graceful form with pomp and make a harmony of the garden so that the Cypress learns from your stance how to win the heart.
Today, when the market is full of the ebullience of buying, acquire and put aside the capital of goodness.
Every bird brings a melody to the garden of the King: the Nightingale with songs of love, Hafiz with prayers of blessing.'
