Скачать или смотреть Hafiz - "Nothing"

The value of all the gold in the world is worthless: nothing.
Winebringer, bring wine! Because this whole world and its business
is nothing too.

Both heart and soul of Hafiz desire the Beloved's presence.
“To him this is everything!" And without that, life and happiness are nothing,

Good luck comes to the heart, painless and without blood.
Food picked in the Garden of Paradise gained by blood and stress
is not real food.

So, if you are tired and hot, don't go looking for shade beneath the Tree of Life
Or beneath the lotus! There is no cool breeze unless you know the Truth.

Life on this earth is short, and is gone, like a forgotten dream.
Use this time to rest, for even this time does not exist.

O Winebringer, we are merely waiting on the shore of the ocean of death.
Fill our cups while You can. Even the time it takes to drink a sip of wine
is gone too fast.

And friends, don't worry about what people say, be the happy rose
“The power of this passing world is like the breeze —gone— and is nothing"

And I say to the professors: Be careful, and don't always think you are right
For the distance from the monks cell to the Master's abode
is less than you think

I have been worn away to nothing from all this grief and suffering.
Yet there's no need for me to confess to any priest, for this, too, is nothing.

"Hafiz" is a name that has the seal of approval
But the wino is not impressed. To have much and to have nothing
is the same, and is Nothing.
