O heart, a companion on the journey of good fortune is enough for you, Ghazal 269 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
O heart, a companion on the journey of good fortune is enough for you,
The breeze of the Shiraz rose garden, a messenger on your path is enough.
Wander no more from your beloved's abode, O dervish,
For the spiritual journey and the corner of your monastery are enough.
And if a sorrow should lurk in a corner of your heart,
The sanctuary of the old man of the Magi is your refuge.
Sit at the head of the bench and drink from the wine cup,
For this much from the world, the acquisition of wealth and prestige is enough.
Do not seek more, make your task easy,
A flask of ruby wine and a beauty like the moon is enough.
The heavens give the reins of desire to foolish people,
You are a man of knowledge and wisdom, this is enough of a sin for you.
The longing for a familiar dwelling and the promise of an old friend,
An apology to the travelers who have left is enough.
Do not become accustomed to the favors of others, for in both worlds
God's pleasure and the king's bounty are enough.
There is no need for any other incantation, O Hafez,
Your midnight prayer and morning lesson are enough.
