At dawn, a message reached my ear from the unseen voice, Ghazal 283 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
At dawn, a message reached my ear from the unseen voice,
"The reign of the brave king is near, drink bold wine."
Those who were people of contemplation and kept to the sidelines,
Now speak a thousand kinds of words with silent lips.
Let us sing those tales to the sound of the lute,
Which were boiling in the cauldron of our hearts, unable to be hidden.
Let us drink the homemade wine that the censor fears,
With our beloved, and cry out, "Drink, drink!"
Yesterday, they carried the imam of the city, shoulder to shoulder,
From the winehouse, while he carried his prayer mat on his shoulder.
O heart, I will guide you on the path of salvation,
Do not boast of sin or sell your piety.
The mind of the enlightened king is the place of divine manifestation,
If you seek his proximity, strive for purity of intention.
Make no other invocation in your heart except praise of His majesty,
For his heart is a confidant of the messages of the divine messenger.
The secrets of the king's realm are known to those in power,
So do not be a disgruntled beggar in a corner, O Hafez.
