How delightful is Shiraz and its unparalleled situation! Ghazal 279 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
How delightful is Shiraz and its unparalleled situation!
O God, preserve it from decline.
From the Rock of Paradise, a hundred tablets of God have descended,
Whose clear waters bestow the life of Khizr.
Between Jaʿfarābād and the place of prayer,
Its north wind wafts with fragrance.
Come to Shiraz and seek the blessing of the Holy Spirit
From its people of great virtue.
Who has taken the name of Egyptian sugar there?
Who have not enjoyed its sweetness?
O Saba, what news do you bring from that
joyful, intoxicated wanderer? How is he?
If that sweet boy sheds my blood,
O heart, consider it lawful, like a mother’s milk.
O God, do not wake me from my sleep,
For I have a sweet solitude with his thoughts.
Why, Hafez, when you feared separation,
Did you not give thanks for the days of union?
