Ghazal 70

مردم دیدهٔ ما جز به رُخَت ناظر نیست

دل سرگشتهٔ ما غیرِ تو را ذاکر نیست

اشکم احرامِ طوافِ حَرَمَت می‌بندد

گرچه از خونِ دلِ ریش دمی طاهر نیست

بستهٔ دام و قفس باد چو مرغ وحشی

طایر سِدره اگر در طلبت طایر نیست

عاشقِ مفلس اگر قلبِ دلش کرد نثار

مَکُنَش عیب که بر نقدِ روان قادر نیست

عاقبت دست بدان سروِ بلندش برسد

هر که را در طلبت همتِ او قاصر نیست

از روان بخشی عیسی نزنم دَم هرگز

زان که در روح فَزایی چو لبت ماهر نیست

من که در آتشِ سودای تو آهی نزنم

کِی توان گفت که بر داغ، دلم صابر نیست

روز اول که سرِ زلفِ تو دیدم گفتم

که پریشانیِ این سلسله را آخر نیست

سر پیوند تو تنها نه دلِ حافظ راست

کیست آن کِش سَرِ پیوند تو در خاطر نیست

From me intoxicated, is the desire of devotion and of covenant, and of rectitude

For, in Eternity without beginning, I became renowned for wine-drinking.

The very moment when, with the fountain of Love (the state of a Lover), I performed ablution (in the heart's pure blood

and from its tablet effaced all exterior to God), — I expressed, completely on all that is, four Laudations,^— Allah Akbar!

Give wine that I may give thee news of the mystery of Fate: By whose face, I became a Lover

and by whose perfume, intoxicated.

Here (in God's sight), less than the ants' (slender) waist is

the waist of the (great) mountain (of Sin): O wine-worshipper!

Be not hopeless of the door of God's mercy. 5. Save that intoxicated eye the

(evil) eye reach him not! — None sate happy beneath this turquoise vault (of Heaven).

Be my soul the ransom of Thy mouth! For, in the garden of vision, The

Parterre-arrayer (the Creator) of the World established no rose-bud more sweet than this rose-bud (of a mouth).

Through the fortune of Love for thee, Hafiz became a Sulaiman (in grandeur)

That is Of Union with thee, he hath naught in hand save wind.
