Ghazal 280

چو بر شکست صبا زلفِ عنبرافشانش

به هر شکسته که پیوست، تازه شد جانش

کجاست همنفسی؟ تا به شرح عرضه دَهَم

که دل چه می‌کشد از روزگارِ هجرانش

زمانه از ورقِ گُل، مثالِ رویِ تو بست

ولی ز شرمِ تو در غنچه کرد پنهانش

تو خفته‌ای و نشد عشق را کرانه پدید

تبارک الله از این رَه که نیست پایانش

جمالِ کعبه مگر عذرِ رهروان خواهد؟

که جانِ زنده‌دلان سوخت در بیابانش

بدین شکستهٔ بیت الحزن که می‌آرد

نشان یوسفِ دل از چَهِ زَنَخدانَش؟

بگیرم آن سرِ زلف و به دستِ خواجه دهم

که سوخت حافظِ بی‌دل ز مکر و دستانش

cho bar shekast saba zolf 'nabrafshansh

be har shekaste ke piust, taze shod jansh

kojast hamanafsi? ta be sharah 'raze daham

ke del che mi-kashad az ruzegar hajransh

zamane az varghe gol, masale ruy to basat

vali ze sharme to dar ghonche kard panhansh

to khafte-ey o nashod 'eshgh ra karane padid

tabark allah az in rah ke nist paiansh

jamal k'be magar 'zare rahruan khaahad?

ke jan zende-dalan sukht dar biabansh

bedin shekaste bit alahazn ke mi-arad

neshan yausfe del az che zanakhdanash?

bagirm an sar zolf o be dast khaje daham

ke sukht hafez bi-del ze makar o dastansh
