O gentle breeze, bring me a scent from the path of my beloved, Ghazal 249 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
O gentle breeze, bring me a scent from the path of my beloved,
Carry away my heartache and bring me tidings of my heart’s desire.
Speak a life-giving word from my beloved’s mouth,
Bring a joyous letter from the realm of secrets.
So that I may perfume my nostrils with the grace of your breeze,
Bring me a whiff of my beloved’s breath.
By your loyalty, bring me the dust-free dust of that dear one's path,
Untainted by the dust of strangers.
Bring dust from my beloved’s path to blind my rival,
For the comfort of these bloodshot eyes.
Rawness and simplicity are not the ways of warriors,
Bring news from the cunning brow of that heart-stealer.
Thanks be to Him who has made you a bird of the meadow,
Bring tidings of the flower garden to the caged birds.
My heart’s taste has turned bitter from patience without my beloved,
Bring a coquettish smile from those sweet, sugar-sweet lips.
For days, my heart has not seen the face of my desire,
O wine-server, bring that mirror-like goblet.
What is Hafez's patched robe worth? Color it with wine,
And bring that wine-soaked, disheveled moment from the marketplace.
