It’s a feast day, and the end of spring, and my friends await, Ghazal 246 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
It’s a feast day, and the end of spring, and my friends await,
O wine-server, bring the moon and wine before the king.
I had turned my heart away from the days of spring, but
The pure intentions of the fasting have done something.
Don’t attach your heart to the world, and ask in drunkenness,
About the grace of the cup and the tale of the fortunate Jamshid.
I have nothing but the coin of my life, where is the wine?
Even that I will offer as a sacrifice to the wine-server’s charm.
A happy fortune is blessed, and a generous king is fortunate,
O Lord, protect him from the evil eye of time.
Drink wine to my poetry, for it will give you a new beauty,
Your jeweled cup with this precious pearl.
If the pre-dawn meal is missed, what harm is there in the morning drink?
The seekers of their beloved open their fast with wine.
Because of the veil of Your generous forgiveness,
Forgive our hearts, for they are of little worth.
I fear that on the Day of Judgment, the reins will be pulled tight,
Both the sheikh’s rosary and the robe of the wine-drinking rogue.
When Hafez departs, the fast and the flowers will also go,
Necessarily drink wine, for the opportunity has passed.
