If you’re a true, loyal friend, be steadfast in your covenant, Ghazal 273 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
If you’re a true, loyal friend, be steadfast in your covenant,
Be a companion for the house, the bath, and the garden.
Don’t let the wind tangle your beloved's disheveled locks,
Don’t say that the hearts of lovers are always troubled.
If you desire to be a companion of Khizr,
Be hidden from Alexander's eyes like the water of life.
The psalm of love's melody is not for every bird,
Come and be the new rose of this nightingale of poetry.
Forget about the path of service and the ritual of worship,
For God's sake, be free and be with us and the sultan.
Don't draw your sword for the hunt in the sanctuary, beware,
And regret what you've done to our hearts.
You are the candle of the gathering, be unified in word and heart,
See the moth's desire and longing and smile.
The perfection of seduction and beauty lies in the play of glances,
Be one of the unique ones of the age in your style of looking.
Be silent, Hafez, and do not lament the cruelty of your beloved,
Who told you to be bewildered by a beautiful face?
