If life permits, I'll go to the tavern once more, Ghazal 252 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
If life permits, I'll go to the tavern once more,
And do nothing else but serve the revelers.
Blessed is the day when I leave with weeping eyes,
So I can bring water to the tavern door once more.
There’s no reason for knowledge among these people, God knows,
So that I can sell my pearl to another buyer.
If my beloved has left and doesn’t recognize the right of old friendship,
Far be it from God that I should go after another beloved.
If the blue circle of the sky becomes favorable,
I will regain her with another compass.
My heart seeks peace if they’ll let me be,
Without her playful glance and that unruly curl.
Know our secret, for they’ve told it with drums and flutes
In the marketplace, time and again.
I complain every moment that the sky, every hour,
Intends to wound my wounded heart with more pain.
I will say, not only is Hafez alone in this incident,
Many others have drowned in this desert.
