Lovemaking, youth, and ruby-colored wine, Ghazal 309 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Lovemaking, youth, and ruby-colored wine
A gathering of companionship, a confidant, and constant drinking
A sweet-tongued cupbearer and a melodious musician
A companion of good deeds and a friend of good reputation
A lover, full of grace and purity, the envy of the water of life
A beloved, in beauty and goodness, the rival of the full moon
A delightful gathering place, like the heavenly palace of paradise
A garden around it, like the garden of the abode of peace
Well-wishing companions and courteous attendants
Knowledgeable friends and companions of fulfilled desires
A bitter, sharp, sweet, and light golden wine
Its story is told of the beloved's ruby lips and of raw ruby
The cupbearer's wink, subtly wielding the sword of reason
The beloved's locks, spreading a wide net for the heart
A witty joker, like the sweet-tongued Hafez
A generous, world-illuminating teacher, like Haji Qavam
Whoever does not desire this pleasure will have a ruined heart
And whoever does not seek this gathering will have a wasted life.
