With my short hand, I’m beneath the burden, Ghazal 323 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
With my short hand, I’m beneath the burden
Ashamed of those who stand so tall.
Perhaps a lock of hair will catch my hand
Or else my head will rise in madness.
Ask my eye about the state of the heavens
For night and day, it counts the stars.
I kiss the lip of the cup in thanks for this
For it has made me aware of the secrets of time.
If I say the prayer of the wine sellers
What is wrong with that? I am paying homage to a blessing.
I have much to thank my own arm for
For I have no strength to harm others.
I have a head like the intoxicated Hafez, but
I hope for the grace of that head.
