A voice whispered from the corner of the tavern last night, Ghazal 284 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
A voice whispered from the corner of the tavern last night,
"Sins will be forgiven, drink wine."
Divine grace will do its work,
The messenger will bring tidings of mercy.
Bring this raw intellect to the tavern,
So that the ruby wine can bring his blood to a boil.
Though union with her is not easily attained,
Strive as much as you can, O heart.
God's grace is greater than our sin,
What secret meaning do you know? Be silent.
My ear and the curl of my beloved's hair,
My face and the dust of the wine seller's door.
Hafez's roguery is not a grave sin,
With the king's grace, faults are covered.
The judge of religion, the brave king, he who has made
The Holy Spirit listen to his command.
O King of the Universe, grant him his desire,
And protect him from the evil eye.
