Don't let your locks flow in the wind, lest you ruin me, Ghazal 316 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Don't let your locks flow in the wind, lest you ruin me
Don't be so haughty, lest you destroy my foundation.
Don't drink wine with everyone, lest I drink blood from my liver
Don't be arrogant, lest my cry reach the sky.
Don't braid your locks, lest you bind me
Don't toss your tresses, lest you destroy me.
Don't be a stranger to me, lest you take me away from myself
Don't grieve for others, lest you make me unhappy.
Brighten your face, that you may free me from my rose petal
Straighten your stature, that you may free me from the cypress.
Don't be the candle of every gathering, or else you'll burn us
Don't remember every group, lest you forget me.
Don't be the talk of the town, lest I hide my head in the mountains
Don't be so sweet and charming, lest you drive me mad.
Have mercy on me, the poor one, and come to my aid
Lest my cry reach the dust of Asaf.
Hafez, for heaven's sake, will not turn away from your cruelty
For from the day I was bound to you, I have been free.
