Ghazal 180

ای پستهٔ تو خنده زده بر حدیثِ قند

مشتاقم از برای خدا یک شِکَر بخند

طوبی ز قامتِ تو نیارد که دَم زند

زین قصّه بگذرم که سخن می‌شود بلند

خواهی که برنخیزدت از دیده رودِ خون

دل در وفایِ صحبتِ رودِ کسان مَبَند

گر جلوه می‌نمایی و گر طعنه می‌زنی

ما نیستیم معتقدِ شیخِ خودپسند

ز آشفتگیِ حالِ من آگاه کِی شود؟

آن را که دل نگشت گرفتارِ این کمند

بازارِ شوق گرم شد آن سروْقد کجاست؟

تا جانِ خود بر آتش رویش کُنم سپند

جایی که یارِ ما به شِکَرخنده دَم زند

ای پسته کیستی تو، خدا را به خود مخند

حافظ چو تَرکِ غمزهٔ تُرکان نمی‌کنی

دانی کجاست جای تو؟ خوارزم یا خُجَند

O (beloved) hidden from (my) sight! to God, I entrust,—— thee. (In pain of separation), thou consumedest my soul

yet with heart, friend I hold— thee.

So long as I trail not the skirt of my shroud beneath the foot of the

dust (of the grave), Believe not, I will keep (my) hand from off the skirt of thee.

Display the prayer-arch of thy eyebrow, that, in the morning-time, (In excuse), I may bring forth my hand of prayer and bring it upon the neck of thee.

• If it be necessary for me to go to Harut of Babil, A hundred kinds of sorcery (learned from him) I will evoke to bring thee. 5.

Of thy grace,— give me access to thyself so that, with heart-consuming, The jewel

(the tear) of the eye, I may momently rain upon the feet of thee.

(In exceeding love for thee), I have, in my bosom, established a hundred streams (of tear)

from my eye In the hope that I may sow love's seed in the heart of thee.

I weep; and, from this tear, torrent raining, my hope Is that love's seed, I may plant in the heart of— thee.

The beloved spilled my blood; and released me from grief of separation, Thank-profferer, I am for the dagger-working glance of. thee.

O faithless physician (the beloved)! I wish to die before thee

Ask the sick; for I am in expectation of thee. 10. If my eye and heart show desire for another (lovely one), To that heart, I set fire; and pluck out the eye for the sake of— thee.

Hafiz! wine (love), and the mistress (the beloved), and profligacy (the fearless, careless state) are not (contrary to) thy way of life: (Thus) wholly thou doest

and (since thou exceedest not) I pardon thee. [4. Harut. See Ode 14..

ey pasat-ye to khande zade bar hadis ghanad

mashtaghm az barai khoda yek shokr bakhanad

tubi ze ghamte to niard ke dam zanad

zin ghesse bagazaram ke sokhan mi-shavad boland

khaahi ke barankhizadt az dide ravad khun

del dar vafaye sohbat ravad kasan maband

ma nistim m'taghde sheykh khudapasand

ze ashafatagye hal man agae key shavad?

an ra ke del nagashat garaftare in kamanad

bazar showgh garam shod an saravaghad kojast?

ta jan khod bar atash ruish konam sapanad

jaii ke yar ma be shekarakhande dam zanad

ey paste kisti to, khoda ra be khod makhanad

dani kojast jay to? khuarazm ya khojand
