Ghazal 36

تا سرِ زلفِ تو در دستِ نسیم افتادست

دلِ سودازده از غُصه دو نیم افتادست

چَشمِ جادویِ تو خود عینِ سَوادِ سِحْر است

لیکن این هست که این نُسخه سَقیم اُفتادست

در خَمِ زلف تو آن خالِ سیه دانی چیست؟

نقطهٔ دوده که در حلقه جیم افتادست

زلفِ مشکینِ تو در گلشنِ فردوسِ عِذار

چیست؟ طاووس که در باغِ نعیم افتادست

دلِ من در هوسِ رویِ تو ای مونس جان

خاکِ راهیست که در دستِ نسیم افتادست

همچو گَرد این تنِ خاکی نتوانَد برخاست

از سرِ کویِ تو زان رو که عظیم افتادست

سایهٔ قَدِّ تو بر قالبم ای عیسی دم

عکسِ روحیست که بر عَظمِ رَمیم افتادست

آن که جز کعبه مُقامش نَبُد از یادِ لبت

بر درِ میکده دیدم که مُقیم افتادست

حافظِ گمشده را با غمت ای یارِ عزیز

اتحادیست که در عهدِ قدیم افتادست

We went (to see thee depart)

and, thou knowest, and knoweth, the grief- suffering heart of ours, Where (in separation from thee) ill-fortune taketh the victuals (of existence) of ours.

With the scattering of the eye-lash, (the jewel-tears of gladness) we be golden like thy (gold bejewelled)

tress — The messenger who, from thee, causeth a salutation to reach to (the hand) of ours.

In prayer, I have come: do thou also bring forth thy hand in prayer: — (My prayer is) Fidelity be associated with thee

(thy prayer) God be the helper in patience of ours.

By thy head (I swear) if all the world should strike the sword on my

head, It could not take forth, desire for thee, from this head of ours. 5.

Me, a wanderer, in every direction, the sky (fate) maketh. Thou

knowest To it, envy cometh from the soul-cherishing companionship of ours.

If all the people of the world practise tyranny against thee (for thy grace),

Forth from all, justice for the tyranny (of envy) will draw the Lord of ours.

When my beloved will come in safety, — again may be the day

O happy that day when the beloved cometh in safety to the house of ours.

As long as we expressed breath (wrote) of the beauty of thy adorned

cheek, The (beauteous) rose-leaf was ashamed of the leaf of the book of ours.

I. The mistress of Hafiz wished to go from Shiraz to Baghdad. To see her depart and to bid farewell, Hafiz set out. At the departure

of beloved ones, it is respectful and of good omen to say: — Ma raftim, we went. in place of: — u raft, she went.
