Ghazal 264

خیز و در کاسهٔ زر آبِ طَرَبناک انداز

پیشتر زان که شَوَد کاسهٔ سَر خاک‌ انداز

عاقبت منزلِ ما وادیِ خاموشان است

حالیا غُلغُله در گنبدِ افلاک انداز

چشمِ آلوده‌نظر، از رخِ جانان دور است

بر رخِ او نظر از آینهٔ پاک انداز

به سرِ سبزِ تو ای سرو که گر خاک شَوَم

ناز از سَر بِنِه و سایه بر این خاک انداز

دلِ ما را که ز مارِ سرِ زلفِ تو بِخَست

از لبِ خود به شفاخانهٔ تریاک انداز

مُلکِ این مزرعه دانی که ثباتی ندهد

آتشی از جگرِ جام، در املاک انداز

غسل در اشک زدم کَاهلِ طریقت گویند

پاک شو اول و پس دیده بر آن پاک انداز

یا رب آن زاهدِ خودبین که به جز عیب ندید

دودِ آهیش در آیینهٔ اِدراک انداز

چون گُل از نَکهَتِ او جامه قبا کن حافظ

وین قبا در رَهِ آن قامتِ چالاک انداز

Since, abode in my heart, grief for him— — hath taken, Like his

dark tress, the darkness (of confusion and of bewilderment) my heart hath taken.

His (ruddy) lip like (red) fire is the water of life

On account of that water (of life), us, a great fire— hath kindled.

'Tis an age, since with soul my auspicious spirit, Desire for that stature and height (of the Murshid), hath

taken. Of his lofty stature, I became lover, Since loftiness of splendour, the work of lovers hath taken. 5.

Since, in the shadow of his kindness, we are; Away from us, why (is it that) he the shadow hath

taken. To-day, the breeze of morn is ambergris of perfume; Perchance, the path of the desert my beloved hath taken?

From the river (of weeping) of my two eyes, the jewel

of tear The world, into the midst of incomparable pearls, hath taken.

O cypress of lily bosom (the beloved)! The tale (lustrous verse) of Hafiz Like the

description of thy (lofty) stature, loftiness (of rank, of precious accept- ance, of exaltation) hath taken. 6.

From the beloved (the Murshid), it is that the breeze of morn is ambergris of perfume. 95, ("I). i. My Lord! sweetly, Thou goest in so much that in Thee, head to foot (alto- gether) I die: My Bold One! sweetly, Thou movest

before Thee, I die.

Thou saidest: — " Before me, when wilt thou die ? "

Why is haste ? A sweet demand, Thou makest. (Even) before Thy demand.

I die. The lover, separated and intoxicated, I am. The idol, Sakl, where is he ? Say

— " Proudly move; for before Thy beautiful form, I die." O Beloved! through separation from whom, an age hath passed, so that I may die, — Make — say— only one glance; so that, before thy dark gray eye,—— I die. 5.
