Ghazal 300

هزار دشمنم اَر می‌کنند قصدِ هلاک

گَرَم تو دوستی از دشمنان ندارم باک

مرا امیدِ وصالِ تو زنده می‌دارد

و گر نه هر دَمم از هجرِ توست بیمِ هلاک

نفَس‌نفَس اگر از باد نَشنوم بویش

زمان‌زمان چو گل از غم کُنم گریبان چاک

رَوَد به خواب، دو چشم از خیالِ تو؟ هیهات

بُوَد صبور، دل اندر فراقِ تو؟ حاشاک

اگر تو زخم زَنی، بِهْ که دیگری مَرهم

و گر تو زهر دهی، بِهْ که دیگری تریاک

بِضَربِ سَیْفِکَ قَتْلی حَیاتُنا اَبدا

لِأنَّ روحیَ قَدْ طابَ اَن یَکونَ فِداک

عنان مَپیچ که گر می‌زنی به شمشیرم

سپر کُنم سر و دستت ندارم از فِتراک

تو را چنان که تویی هر نظر کجا بیند؟

به قدرِ دانشِ خود هر کسی کند ادراک

به چشمِ خَلق، عزیزِ جهان شود حافظ

که بر درِ تو نَهد رویِ مَسکَنَت بر خاک

and into agita- tion, the rose- came.

With the ear of sense, listen to me

and for ease, strive: For, to my ear, from an invisible messenger, this matter of the morning came. 5.

From the bird of the morning (the Bulbul, the murshid), I know not the noble lily

(the Arif), What (sorrowful matter) it heard, that, notwithstanding its ten tongues, silent it. became.

From the thought of separation, come out (from thy own heart), so that

collected (of heart) thou mayst be, Since when Ahriman went, Surosh (Jibra,il)— — came.

The assembly of affection is the place of society of the excluded what! Cover the mouth of the cup

for the khirka-wearer (the Zahid) is come. i.

and the time of love and of divine knowledge, come.

See the KLuran iv. 116; xxxix. 37; liii. 19. Jibra.il is for the prophets the road-guide of Faith.

hezar dashamanam ar mi-konand ghasde halak

garam to dusti az dashamnan nadarm bak

mara omid vesal to zende mi-darad

o gar na har damm az hajr tost bim halak

nafas-nafas agar az bad nashnum buish

zaman-zaman cho gol az gham konam gariban chak

ravad be khuab, do cheshm az khiyal to? hihat

bud sabur, del andar feragh to? hashak

agar to zakham zani, be ke digri marahm

o gar to zhar dahi, be ke digri tariak

bezarbe sayfeka ghatli haiatona abda

leanna ruhya ghad taba an yakuna fedak

sapar konam sar o dasatat nadarm az fetrak

to ra chenan ke tuii har nazar koja bind?
