I've drawn the image of you on the canvas of my eye, Ghazal 322 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
I've drawn the image of you on the canvas of my eye
I've seen no portrait of you, nor heard of one.
Though in my pursuit of you, I was as swift as the north wind
I did not reach the dust of your graceful cypress.
In the darkness of your locks, I did not hope for the light of day
I cut off my hope of your lips from the delight of my heart.
In my longing for the spring of your writing, how many drops did I shed?
From your ruby-lipped wine seller, what coquetry did I buy?
With your glance, what arrows did you shoot into my wounded heart?
From the sorrow of your street, what burdens did I carry?
Bring me some dust from my beloved's street, O morning breeze
For I have heard the scent of my wounded heart’s blood from that dust.
It was the sin of your black eyes and your desired neck
That made me, like a wild gazelle, flee from humanity.
Like a rosebud, a breeze passed over me from your street
That tore the veil from my bleeding heart with its scent.
By the dust of your feet I swear, and by the light of Hafez's eye
That without your face, I have seen no light from the lamp of my eye.
