Ghazal 391

خوش‌تر از فکر می و جام چه خواهد بودن؟

تا ببینم که سرانجام چه خواهد بودن

غم دل چند توان خورد؟ که ایام نماند

گو نه دل باش و نه ایام چه خواهد بودن؟

مرغ کم‌حوصله را گو غم خود خور که بر او

رحمِ آن کس که نهد دام چه خواهد بودن؟

باده خور غم مخور و پند مقلد منیوش

اعتبار سخن عام چه خواهد بودن؟

دست‌رنج تو همان به که شود صرف به کام

دانی آخر که به ناکام چه خواهد بودن؟

پیر میخانه همی‌خواند معمایی دوش

از خط جام که فرجام چه خواهد بودن

بردم از ره دل حافظ به دف و چنگ و غزل

تا جزای من بدنام چه خواهد بودن

Last night, the Pir of the tavern (the murshid) kept uttering an enigma Of the line of the cup (of love). "('Tis necessary to see) the end, what will be." From the Path, Hafiz's heart I took (seduced) with the drum, the harp, and the ghazal
