Ghazal 380

بارها گفته‌ام و بار دگر می‌گویم

که من دل‌شده این ره، نه به خود می‌پویم

در پس آینه طوطی‌صفتم داشته‌اند

آن چه استاد ازل گفت بگو، می‌گویم

من اگر خارم و گر گل چمن‌آرایی هست

که از آن دست که او می‌کِشدم، می‌رویم

دوستان! عیب من بی‌دل حیران مکنید

گوهری دارم و صاحب نظری می‌جویم

گر چه با دلق ملمع، مِیِ گلگون عیب است

مکنم عیب کَزو رنگِ ریا می‌شویم

خنده و گریه عشاق ز جایی دگر است

می‌سرایم به شب و وقت سحر می‌مویم

حافظم گفت که «خاک در میخانه مبوی»

گو «مکن عیب که من مشک ختن می‌بویم»

Not, in all the cloisters of the magians, is like me a distraught one (In) one place, the khirka (my existence is) the pledge for wine

the book (the heart in) another place.

The heart, which is a royal mirror, hath (by worldly affairs and by the dross of sin) a great dust, (the prohibitor of divine bounty)

From God, I seek the society of one, luminous of opinion.

From my eye to the skirt, I have established streams (of tears), so

that, per. chance, In my bosom, they may place one, straight of stature.

The bark (-shaped) cup, bring

for, without the Beloved's face, From the heart's grief, every corner of the eye hath become a great ocean (of tears). 5.

By the hand of an idol, wine-selling, repentance I have made

That again, wine I drink not without the face of a banquet-adorner.

The mystery of this subtlety, perchance, the candle will bring to its tongue

If not, for speech, the moth hath not (even) a little solicitude.

To me, mistress-worshipping, speak not of aught beside

For, beyond her and the cup of wine, for none is mine, (even) a little solicitude.

barha gafte-am o bar degar mi-guyam

ke man del-shade in rah, na be khod mi-puim

dar pas ayene tuti-safatam dashte-and

an che astad azal goft begu, mi-guyam

man agar kharm o gar gol chaman-araii hast

ke az an dast ke u mi-keshadm, mi-ruim

dustan! 'eyb man bi-del hiran maknid

guhri daram o saheb nazri mi-juim

gar che ba dalagh malam', mi galgun 'eyb ast

makanam 'eyb kazu rang ria mi-shuim

khande o garie 'shagh ze jaii degar ast

mi-saraim be shab o vaght sahar mi-muim

hafazm goft ke khak dar meykhane mabui

gu makon 'eyb ke man moshk khatan mi-buim
