Ghazaliyat of Hafez Ghazal 033

Description: Ghazal 033 from Divan of Hafez

What need has the recluse for spectacle,
When in beloved's presence what need is the meadow?

O beloved, with what need do you approach God,
That at the last moment you ask what need we have?

O king of beauty, we have burned for God's sake,
Finally ask what need this beggar has.

We are in need, but have no tongue to ask,
In the presence of the Generous, what need is there for entreaty?

There is no need for a story if you intend to shed our blood,
Since our belongings are yours, what need is there for plunder?

The mirror of the world is my beloved's luminous heart,
What need is there for a declaration of need there?

It turned out that I carried the burden of the sailor's gratitude,
When the jewel was given, what need was to go to sail?

O claimant, go, for I have no business with you,
Friends are present, what need is there for enemies?

O beggarly lover, the life-giving lips of the beloved
Know your duty, what need is there for a request?

Hafez! Conclude, let your art become apparent,
What need is there for dispute and contention with the claimant?

Description: Ghazal 032 from Divan of Hafez

When God created the shape of your captivating eyebrow,
He tied my fate to your coquetries.

He made me and the cypress of the garden bow down to the dust of your path,
When time tied the knot of your narcissus-colored garment.

A hundred knots were untied from my affairs and my heart's bud,
When the breeze of the rose, like the heart, became captivated by your desire.

The cycle of time made me content with your captivity,
But what good is it if the thread of my fate is tied to your pleasure?

Do not tie a knot like a curl on my poor heart,
For I have made a covenant with your lock-loosening curl.

You yourself were another union, O breeze of union,
Don't blame me for having hope in your loyalty.

I said I would leave the city because of your cruelty,
You laughed and said, "Go, Hafez, for your foot is tied."

The cupbearer speaks of the cypress, rose, and tulip, Ghazal 225 by Hafez

Description: English Translation:

The cupbearer speaks of the cypress, rose, and tulip,
And this discussion leads to the three washerwomen.

Give me wine, for the bride of the meadow has reached the pinnacle of beauty,
The work of this time is being carried out by the matchmaker.

All the Indian parrots will become sugar-crushers
From this Persian sugar that goes to Bengal.

See the passage of place and time in the pursuit of poetry,
For this child covers a year's journey in one night.

See that enchanting eye that deceives the ascetic,
Leading a caravan of magic in its wake.

Do not go the way of the world's coquetry, for this old woman
Sits deceitfully and treacherously.

The spring breeze blows from the king's rose garden,
And a dewdrop of wine falls into the cup of the tulip.

Hafez, in his eagerness for the gathering of Sultan Ghiyasuddin,
Be not heedless, for your work is being ruined by your laments.

Blessed is the heart that does not constantly seek a glance, Ghazal 224 by Hafez

Description: English Translation:

Blessed is the heart that does not constantly seek a glance,
That does not go unanswered to every door it knocks on.

It was better for me not to covet those sweet lips,
But how can a fly not follow sugar?

Do not be troubled by the blackness of my grief-stricken eyes,
For the image of your mole will never leave my sight.

Do not withhold your scent from me like the morning breeze,
For without the scent of your locks, I cannot endure.

O heart, do not be such a wandering vagrant,
For no good will come of such behavior.

Do not look at me, the intoxicated one, with contempt,
For the honor of religion will not be diminished by this.

I, the beggar, have a desire for a tall cypress,
Whose waist is only touched by silver and gold.

You, who are of such noble character,
May my loyalty to our promise not be forgotten by you.

I see no one blacker of heart than myself,
How can my heart not be filled with smoke like a pen?

Do not take my headdress away, for the white falcon
Does not pursue every small prey.

Bring wine and first give it to Hafez,
On the condition that the conversation does not leave the gathering.

Your image will never fade from the tablet of my heart and soul, Ghazal 223 by Hafez

Description: English Translation:

Your image will never fade from the tablet of my heart and soul,
That graceful cypress will never leave my memory.

From my bewildered mind, the thought of your lips,
Will not go, despite the cruelty of fate and the sorrows of time.

From eternity, my heart has been bound to your locks,
It will never be severed and will never break its vow.

Whatever burden besides yours is on my poor heart,
Will depart from my heart, but that will not leave my heart.

Your love has taken such a hold on my heart and soul,
That even if my head is severed, it will not leave my heart and soul.

If my heart follows beautiful ones, it is excusable,
For it is in pain, what can it do but seek a remedy?

Whoever wishes not to be as bewildered as Hafez,
Should not give their heart to beautiful ones and should not follow them.

Whoever leaves your neighborhood with weariness, Ghazal 222 by Hafez

Description: English Translation:

Whoever leaves your neighborhood with weariness,
Their affairs will not prosper, and they will end up in shame.

A caravan that is escorted by God’s protection,
Will sit in splendor and go in grandeur.

The traveler will find the path to the beloved with the light of guidance,
For they will not reach anywhere if they go astray.

At the end of your life, satisfy your desire with wine and a lover,
It is a pity for times that are spent entirely in futility.

O guide of the lost heart, for God’s sake, help,
So that the stranger, if they do not take the path, may go with guidance.

The decree of secrecy and intoxication is all on the seal,
No one knows in what state they will end up.

Hafez took a cup from the spring of wisdom,
Hoping that the image of ignorance would be erased from your heart.

New Ghazal Posted: When I reach for her locks, they sway with a toss, Ghazal 221 by Hafez

When I reach for her locks, they sway with a toss, Ghazal 221 by Hafez

Description: English Translation:

When I reach for her locks, they sway with a toss,
And if I seek peace, she meets me with reproach.

Like the new moon, a sight for the unfortunate,
She hides behind her eyebrow and veil.

She turns my wine-soaked night into wakefulness,
And if I complain during the day, she falls asleep.

The path of love is full of turmoil and strife, O heart,
He will fall who rushes along this path.

Do not trade the beggary of the beloved's door for a kingdom,
Does anyone go from the shadow of this door into the sunlight?

When the darkness of the black hair's letter is passed,
The whiteness will not decrease even if a hundred choices pass.

When the wind of arrogance enters the head of a bubble,
Its hat will be carried away in the wine cup.

You are the veil in the way, Hafez, so arise,
Blessed is he who goes on this path without a veil.

Description: Ghazal 031 from Divan of Hafez

This is the Night of Power they say the devout ones speak of tonight,
O Lord, in which celestial sphere does this influence reside?

So that the unworthy hands may reach less to your hair,
Every heart is engaged in the remembrance of God.

I am killed by the well of your dimples, from every side
A hundred thousand necks of my life are beneath the collar of your necklace.

My queen, whose face is the mirror of the moon,
The dust of the steed's hoof is the crown of the exalted sun.

See the effect of temperament on her cheek, for the hot sun
Has a fever every day as long as that sweat is there.

I will not abandon my beloved's ruby lips and the cup of wine,
Exempt the ascetics, for this is my religion.

At the moment when they saddle the wind,
Like Solomon, I will ride it, though I am a mere ant as a mount.

He who shoots an arrow into my heart with a glance,
The strength of Hafez's life is in his under-lip smile.

The water of life drips from the beak of his eloquence,
The crow of my pen, in the name of God, has a noble disposition.

Description: Ghazal 030 from Divan of Hafez

Your locks have bound a thousand hearts with a single hair,
And closed the path of a thousand problem-solvers from every direction.

To make lovers give their lives for the scent of her breeze,
She untied a fragrant lock and closed the door of desire.

I became enamored when my beloved, like the new moon,
Made her eyebrows a show and turned away her face.

The wine-pourer poured wine of many colors into the cup,
Look at these patterns, how beautifully they are woven in the gourd.

O Lord, what a wink the wine jug gave that made the wine of the jug bleed,
And with its gurgling cries, it tied a knot in my throat.

What a melody the musician played that, in the curtain of the Sama,
Closed the door of clamor and noise to the people of ecstasy and state.

Hafez! Whoever did not love and yet sought union,
Tied the ihram for the circumambulation of the heart's Kaaba without performing ablutions.

Description: Ghazal 029 from Divan of Hafez

What do I care for wine, with thoughts of you in my mind?
Let the wine jar keep its head, for the tavern is in ruins.

If it's heavenly wine, pour it out, for without my beloved
Every sweet drink you give me is pure torment.

Alas, the beloved has gone, and in the tearful eye,
The image of her line is a drawing on water.

Wake up, O eye, for there is no safety
From this constant flood that is in this house of sleep.

The beloved passes visibly before you, but
Strangers see only a veiled face.

When the rose saw the grace of sweat on your colorful cheek,
It was drowned in rosewater from the fire of longing in its heart.

Come, let's go to the green fields and gardens, so that we don't let go
Of the water, which the whole world is an illusion.

Seek a place for advice in the corner of my nose,
For this corner is full of the murmur of the lute and the rabāb.

What if Hafez is a lover, a rogue, and a gazer?
Many strange things are necessary in the days of youth.
