Check out the latest ghazal from hamed:
Hold the wine cup around the tulip and be without hypocrisy, Ghazal 274 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Hold the wine cup around the tulip and be without hypocrisy,
Be a companion to the morning breeze with the scent of flowers.
I’m not telling you to drink wine all year round,
Drink wine for three months and be pious for nine.
When the old sage of love refers you to wine,
Drink and wait for God's mercy.
If you desire to reach the secret of the unseen like Jamshid,
Come and be a companion to the world-revealing cup.
Though the world's work is to be closed like a bud,
Be like the spring breeze, unlocking knots.
Don't expect loyalty from anyone, even if they don't speak,
Be a vain seeker of the Simorgh and the philosopher's stone.
Don't be a disciple of the obedience of strangers, Hafez,
But be an associate of pious revelers.
