Ghazal 491

به چَشْم کَرْدِه‌ام اَبْرویِ ماه‌سیمایی

خیالِ سَبْزخَطْی، نَقْش بَسْتِه‌اَم جایی

اُمید هست که مَنْشورِ عِشْق‌بازیِ مَن

از آن کَمانْچِهٔ اَبْرو رَسَد به طُغْرایی

سَرَم زِ دَسْت بِشُد، چَشْم از اِنْتِظار بِسوخْت

دَر آرزویِ سَر و چَشْمِ مَجْلِس‌آرایی

مُکَدَّر است دِل، آتَش به خِرْقِه خواهَم زَد

بیا! ببین! که کِرا می‌کُنَد تَماشایی!

به روزِ واقِعِه، تابوتِ ما زِ سَرْو کُنید

که می‌رَویم به داغِ بُلَنْدبالایی

زِمامِ دِل به کَسی دادِه‌اَم مَنِ دَرویش

که نیستَش به کَس از تاج و تَخْت، پَروایی

در آن مَقام که خوبان ز غَمْزِه، تیغ زَنَنْد

عَجَب مَدار سَری اوفتاده در پایی

مَرا که از رُخِ او، ماه در شَبِسْتان است

کُجا بود به فُروغِ ستاره، پَروایی؟

فِراق و وَصْل چه باشَد؟ رِضایِ دوستْ طَلَب!

که حِیْف باشَد از او، غِیْرِ او، تَمَنّایی

دُرَر ز شوق بَرآرَند ماهیان به نِثار

اگر سَفینِهٔ «حافظ» رَسَد به دَریایی

In my eye, the eye-brow of one moon of form, I have made

The fancy of one fresh of down, I have pictured a place. The hope is that the order of my love-play May reach from that bow-eyebrow to the rank of—— a (beautiful) Tughra.

From the hand, went my head; from expectation, my eye consumed

;— In desire of the head and of the eye of an assembly-adorner.

In that place where, with a glance, the lovely ones strike the sword,

— Wonder not, at a head which, hath fallen (severed) at a foot. 5.

(From separation), perturbed is my heart; fire to the khirka, I will set (and, from this, escape)

Come, come; for, glorious, it will make a spectacle.

Since, from His (the true Beloved's) face the (effulgent) moon in the bed- chamber is

mine, For the twinkling of the star (the illusory beloved) where is (even) a little solicitude?

My heart's rein I, the darvlsh, have given to that one (God), To

whom, for any one's crown, or throne, is not (even) a little solicitude.

Separation or union — what martereth it ? The Friend's will, seek

For, from Him, (aught) beside (union with) Him, vain is a wish. 4.

The second line may be

— At a head which at the foot hath fallen (in obeisance), wonder not. 8. Separation, or union. Both are equal.

If He appiove of separation, separation, seek

if He approve of union, union, seek. In the day of events (of death) make ye our coffin of the (lofty) cypress, For, we go with the mark of a lofty one. 10.

For scattering (on Hafiz), through exceeding desire the fishers bring forth

pearls, If Hafiz's bark should reach a sea. 520, (525) • i.
