Be my beloved, Ghazaliyat of Hafez Ghazal 052

Description: Ghazal 052 from Divan of Hafez

For days, the idol of my beloved has been my religion,
The sorrow of this affair is the joy of my sorrowful heart.

Only the eye of the soul can see your face,
And this is far beyond the capacity of my worldly eye.

Be my beloved, for the beauty of the heavens and the ornament of the world
Are from your moon-like face and my Procyon-like tears.

Since your love taught me the art of speaking,
Praise and admiration of me has become the world's refrain.

O God, grant me the wealth of poverty,
For this grace is the reason for my honor and respect.

O preacher, do not sell this greatness to the bailiff,
For the dwelling place of the sultan is my humble heart.

O Lord, who is the viewer of this Kaaba of my desire?
For the pilgrims of its path are my rose and jasmine.

Hafez, do not tell the tale of the majesty of Parviz anymore,
For his lips have drunk from the cup of my sweet king.

Description: Ghazal 051 from Divan of Hafez

The ruby of my beloved's lips, so parched, is now drunk with blood,
And to see her, giving my life is my task.

Shame on that black eye and those long lashes,
Whoever saw her steal hearts and denies my claim.

O caravan, don't pack your bags at the mountain pass,
For that road is the dwelling place of my beloved.

I am a slave to my own fate, in this drought of loyalty,
Love for that intoxicated wanderer is my buyer.

The drum of the flower's fragrance and her saffron-scattering tresses,
Are the grace of a single whiff of my perfumer's scent.

O gardener, don't drive me away from your door like a breeze,
For the water of your rose garden is from my rose-like tears.

My beloved ordered a sherbet of sugar and rosewater,
Her narcissus is the physician of my sick heart.

The one who taught Hafez the art of the ghazal,
Is my sweet-talking, rare-speaking beloved.
