Ghazaliat of Hafez Ghazal 074

Description: Ghazal 074 from Divan of Hafez

The result of the workshop of existence and place is not all this,
Bring wine, for the furnishings of the world are not all this.

The purpose is the honor of the beloved's companionship, from heart and soul,
This is the purpose, and otherwise, the heart and soul are not all this.

Don’t seek the favor of the Sidrat al-muntaha and the Tuba tree for shade,
For if you look closely, O cypress of the soul, it’s not all this.

Fortune is that which comes to shore without bloodshed,
Otherwise, with effort and action, the Garden of Eden is not all this.

Enjoy the five days you have in this stage,
Be happy for a time when time is not all this.

By the shore of the sea of annihilation, we await you, O cupbearer,
Know that this opportunity, from lip to mouth, is not all this.

O ascetic, beware, do not be secure from the game of jealousy,
For the path from the monastery to the tavern is not all this.

The suffering of my burned and withered self,
Apparently, has no need for speech or explanation.

Hafez's name has accepted a good inscription, but
Before the revelers, the inscription of profit and loss is not all this.
