The English language simply can not convey Hafiz. Shahriari has made a very good effort but his personal faith (he is a Zoroastrian) colors his rendition of some of the poems. Also as a note, as C. G. Jung warned in his introduction to the Wilhelm translation of the "I Ching", divination is not without hazardous consequences. There is no free lunch in the universe. You are not getting "free information" here. Remember that before you decide to weaken your faculty of Choice when using divination tools. [p.s. Hafiz is also very much coded with Sufi terminology. You can take it at face value and admire his mastery of the Persian language but the embedded messages require exegesis.]
