Check out the latest ghazal from hamed:
For years, I followed the religion of the revelers, Ghazal 319 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
For years, I followed the religion of the revelers
Until, with the verdict of wisdom, I imprisoned my desire.
I did not lead myself to the abode of the Simurgh
I made this journey with the bird of Solomon.
Cast a shadow on my bearded heart, O treasure of the soul
For I have ruined this house for your sake.
I vowed not to kiss the cupbearer's lips, and now
I bite my lip, for why did I listen to the ignorant?
In defiance of habit, seek pleasure! For I have
Gained a crowd from that disheveled lock.
The role of the modest and the intoxicated is not in the hands of you and me
What the Eternal King said, do it, that is what I have done.
I have hope from the eternal grace of Paradise
Even though I have served as a doorkeeper of the tavern many times.
That an old man like me should speak of Joseph
Is the reward for the patience I have exercised in the hut of sorrows.
Rising early and seeking health like Hafez
Whatever I have done, I have done it through the grace of the Quran.
If I am at the head of the divan of ghazals, what is surprising?
For years I have served the owner of the divan.
