O gentle breeze, bring me a scent from my beloved's lane, Ghazal 248 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
O gentle breeze, bring me a scent from my beloved's lane,
Bring my sorrowful and sick heart some solace.
Strike our barren heart with the elixir of desire,
That is, bring me a sign from the dust of my friend's door.
In the ambush of glances, I am at war with my own heart,
Bring me an arrow and bow from her eyebrow and wink.
In this foreign land, with separation and heartache, I have aged,
Bring me a cup of wine from the hand of fresh youth.
Give even the deniers a couple of cups of this wine,
And if they do not accept it, bring me peace of mind.
O wine-server, do not postpone today’s pleasure until tomorrow,
Or bring me a letter of safety from the court of destiny.
Last night, my heart slipped away when Hafez said,
"O gentle breeze, bring me a scent from my beloved's lane."
