Every point I’ve made in describing that divine form, Ghazal 307 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Every point I’ve made in describing that divine form
Whoever heard it said, “For God’s sake, what a pearl!”
The acquisition of love and worldly wisdom seemed easy at first
But in the end, my soul was consumed in acquiring these virtues.
Hallaj, on the gallows, beautifully chanted this point:
Don’t ask Shafi’i about such matters.
I asked, “When will you grant life to my weak soul?”
He said, “When there is no soul to be a barrier in between.”
I’ve given my heart to a beloved, a playful beauty
Whose character is pleasing and whose qualities are praised.
While being reclusive, I was like your drunken eye
And now I’ve become like your eyebrow, inclined towards the intoxicated.
From the water of my tears, I’ve seen a hundred Noah's floods
And your image on the tablet of my heart has never been erased.
O friend, Hafez’s hand is an amulet against the evil eye
May God grant that I see it around your neck.
