This is a famous poem by Hafez. Following is a translation taken from Hafiz In Love website:
That beautiful Shirazi Turk, took control and my heart stole,
I’ll give Samarkand & Bukhara, for her Hindu beauty mole.
I think the translation should be slightly different as follow:
If that beautiful Shirazi Turk takes my heart
I’ll give Samarkand & Bukhara, for her Hindu beauty mole.

Here is the full poem: Hafez Ghazal 1
And here is the calligraphy itself if you want to use it on a different background:
Another poem by Hafez. The following writing translates to:
“Morning breeze, its fragrance will exhale
The old world will once again youthfully sail.”
The translation was taken from Hafizinlove.com. You can find the rest of the poem here.
