Ghazal 56

دل سراپردهٔ محبتِ اوست

دیده آیینه‌دارِ طلعت اوست

من که سر در نیاورم به دو کون

گردنم زیرِ بارِ منتِ اوست

تو و طوبی و ما و قامتِ یار

فکرِ هر کس به قدرِ همتِ اوست

گر من آلوده‌دامنم چه عجب

همه عالم گواهِ عصمتِ اوست

من که باشم در آن حرم که صبا

پرده‌دارِ حریمِ حُرمتِ اوست

بی خیالش مباد منظرِ چشم

زآن که این گوشه جایِ خلوتِ اوست

هر گلِ نو که شد چمن‌آرای

زَ اثر رنگ و بویِ صحبتِ اوست

دورِ مجنون گذشت و نوبتِ ماست

هر کسی پنج روز، نوبتِ اوست

مُلکَتِ عاشقیّ و گنجِ طرب

هر چه دارم ز یُمنِ همتِ اوست

من و دل گر فدا شدیم چه باک؟

غرض اندر میان سلامتِ اوست

فقرِ ظاهر مبین که حافظ را

سینه گنجینهٔ محبتِ اوست

For a long time past, in the tavern (of love, of manifestations, of glories), service (in {rue love to God, in manifestations, and in fearful contemplation), I have been doing

In the garment of poverty (as a fakir), the work of people of fortune (those joined to God), I keep doing.

Perceived not truth's perfume, our admonisher. Hear thou

for this word (of truth), In his presence, do I also utter: no calumny, do I make.

Until that, into union's snare, I bring the partridge (the true Beloved),

sweet of gait, In my ambush, expectation of time's opportunity,—— I make.

To the Friend's street, I go like the (swift) breeze, falling and rising,

And from the basil and the rose, prayer for assistance, I make. 5.

The snare of the Path (tarlkat) is the tress of the Heart-ravisher

and the arrow of calamity, His glance: O heart! remember the many precepts of counsel that, for thee, I make.

More than this, our trouble, the dust of Thy street endureth not: O Idol!

kindnesses, Thou didst: (by going into effacement) the lessening of our trouble (to Thee) I make.
