My heart, consumed by love's fire, has burned: Ghazal 17 by Hafez
Description: English Translation
My heart, consumed by love's fire, has burned,
A fire raged in this house that consumed the home.
My body, due to the separation from my beloved, has wasted away,
My soul has burned in the fire of my beloved's radiant face.
See the burning of my heart, for my tears, like a candle's heart,
Last night, out of love, burned like a moth.
A friend is not a stranger who is sympathetic to me,
When I abandoned myself, a stranger's heart burned.
The water of the tavern has carried away my robe of asceticism,
The fire of the tavern has consumed my house of reason.
Since my heart's cup broke from the vow I made,
Like a tulip, my liver has burned without wine or tavern.
End the story and return, for my eyes are tired,
I have taken off my robe and burned it in gratitude.
Hafez, speak plainly and drink wine for a moment,
For we did not sleep at night, and the candle burned away in tales.
