Ghazal 46

گُل در بَر و مِی در کَف و معشوق به کام است

سلطانِ جهانم به چُنین روز، غلام است

گو شمع میارید در این جمع که امشب

در مجلسِ ما، ماهِ رخِ دوست، تمام است

در مذهبِ ما، باده، حلال است ولیکن

بی‌رویِ تو ای سَروِ گُل‌اندام، حرام است

گوشم همه بر قولِ نی و نغمهٔ چنگ است

چشمم، همه، بر لعلِ لب و گَردشِ جام است

در مجلسِ ما، عِطر میامیز که ما را

هر لحظه، زِ گیسو‌یِ تو، خوش‌بوی مشام است

از چاشنیِ قند مگو هیچ و زِ شِکَّر

زآن رو که مرا از لبِ شیرینِ تو، کام است

تا گنجِ غمت در دِلِ ویرانه‌، مقیم است

همواره مرا کویِ خرابات، مقام است

از ننگ چه گویی که مرا نام ز ننگ است؟

وز نام چه پرسی که مرا ننگ ز نام است؟

مِی‌خواره و سرگشته و رندیم و نظرباز

وآن کس که چو ما نیست در این شهر، کدام است؟

با محتسبم، عیب مگویید که او نیز

پیوسته، چو ما در طلبِ عیشِ مدام است

حافظ! منشین بی‌مِی و معشوق، زمانی

کایَّامِ گُل و یاسمن و عیدِ صیام است

(When) the rose is in the bosom; wine in the hand; and the

Beloved to my desire, — On such a day, the world's Sultan is my slave.

Say: — Into this assembly, bring ye no candle for to-night. In our assembly, the moon of the Friend's face is full. In our order (of profligates), the wine-cup is lawful

but, O Cypress, rose of body! without thy face (presence), unlawful.

In our assembly (of Lovers), mix not 'itr (perfume)

for our soul, Every moment, receiveth perfume from the fragrance of the tip of Thy tress. 5.

My ear is all (intent) on the voice of the reed

and, the melody of the harp (the instruction of the Murshid): My eye is all (intent) on Thy ruby lip, and on the circulation of the cup (the manifestations of glories of God in the night season).

Say ye naught of the sweetness of candy and sugar (the delights of the world)

For my desire is for Thy sweet lip (the sweet stream of Divine grace, the source of endless delight).

From the time when the treasure of grief for Thee was dweller in

my ruined heart, — The corner of the tavern is ever my abode.

Vulgarly "otto." In Vol. i (p. 161), supplemental volumes, Works of Sir W. Jones, 1801, it is said

— Forty pounds of fresh roses (stems cut close) are put into a still with sixty pounds of water.

When the fumes begin to rise, the cap of the still is put on

and the pipe fixed to the receiver. As the impregnated fluid begins to go over into the receiver, the fire is re-. duced.

The distillation continues till thirty pounds of water pass over in four, or five, hours. This rose-water is poured on forty pounds of fresh roses

and the distillation continued till fifteen or twenty pounds of rose-water highly scented pass over.

It is then poured into pans, and left for a night exposed to the fresh air. In the morning, the 'itr congealed on the top of the water is collected

and the remaining rose-water, used for fresh distillation.

The quantity of 'itr that can be obtained depends on the quality of the roses and on the skill of the

distiller. Tachenius obtained half an ounce of 'itr from a hundred pounds of roses; Hamberg, one ounce; Hoffman, two ounces.
