A safe place, pure wine, and a loyal friend, Ghazal 298 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
A safe place, pure wine, and a loyal friend
If you constantly have these, what a blessing!
The world and its affairs are all nothing
I have investigated this point a thousand times.
Alas, and what a pity, that until now I did not know
That the elixir of happiness is a true friend.
Seek refuge and consider time a precious opportunity
For the cutters of the path are in ambush in the life span.
Come, let us repent from the ruby lip and the laughter of the cup
It is a story that reason does not approve of.
Even if your hair does not turn gray like mine
I am happy with this precise thought.
The sweetness that you have in the well of your beauty
A thousand deep thoughts cannot reach the depth of it.
If my tears turned the color of agate, what is surprising?
For the seal of your ruby lip is like agate.
He laughed and said, "Hafez, I am your humble servant"
See to what extent he mocks me.
