Ghazal 384

می‌سوزم از فِراقت روی از جَفا بگردان

هجران بلایِ ما شد، یا رب بلا بگردان

مَه جلوه می‌نماید بر سبز خِنگِ گَردون

تا او به سر درآید، بر رَخش پا بگردان

مَرغول را بَرافشان یعنی به رَغمِ سنبل

گِردِ چمن بُخوری همچون صبا بگردان

یغمایِ عقل و دین را بیرون خرام سرمست

در سر کلاه بِشکن در بَر قَبا بگردان

ای نورِ چشمِ مستان در عینِ انتظارم

چنگِ حزین و جامی بِنواز یا بگردان

دوران همی‌نویسد بر عارضش خطی خوش

یا رب نوشتهٔ بد از یارِ ما بگردان

حافظ ز خوبرویان بختت جز این قَدَر نیست

گر نیستت رضایی حُکمِ قضا بگردان

(O beloved!) from separation from thee, I consume

Separation (from the beloved) our (soul-)calamity became. O Lord! the cala- mity, turn.

On the bay courser of the sky, the moon displayeth splendour

So that, to an end, it may come,— to (mighty) Rakhsh, thy foot turn.

Forth for the plunder of reason and of faith, intoxicated gracefully move: On thy head, aslant (in pride) place the cap

and, on the body, the kaba beturn.

Thy love-lock, dishevel — that is, against the (tress-like) hyacinth,

About the sward, fragrance like the morning breeze beturn. 5.

O light of the eye of the intoxicated! in the essence of expectation, I am: The wailing harp and the cup, — (that one, the harp) play

and (this one, the cup), beturn.

When, on thy cheek, time writeth the happy line, O Lord! from our friend, the ill-decree, turn. Hafiz! from lovely ones, (thy) lot, save that portion (that thou hast), is naught

If (as to it) contentment be not thine, fate's decree,—— turn. 2.

Rakhsh is the name of Rustam's

war-horse. See the Shahnama by Firdausi.

mi-suzm az feraght ruy az jafa bagardan

hejran balaye ma shod, ya rab bala bagardan

mah jelve mi-nemayad bar sabaz khenge gardun

ta u be sar daraid, bar rakhsh pa bagardan

marghul ra barafshan ya'ni be raghme sanabal

gerde chaman bokhuri hamchon saba bagardan

yaghmaye aghl o din ra birun kharam saramasat

dar sar kalae beshakn dar bar ghaba bagardan

ey nur cheshm mastan dar 'ine anatzarm

chang hazin o jami benuaz ya bagardan

duran hami-nuisd bar 'arazsh khati khosh

ya rab nushat-ye bad az yar ma bagardan
