I am one who finds the corner of the tavern his monastery: Ghazal 53 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
I am one who finds the corner of the tavern his monastery,
The prayer of the Magian sage is my morning incantation.
If I have not the morning song of the lute, what does it matter?
My tune at dawn is the sigh of my apology.
I am free from king and beggar, thanks be to God,
A beggar at my beloved's door, a king is my state.
My purpose in mosque and tavern is your union,
God is my witness, I have no other thought.
Unless the sword of fate strikes my tent, or not,
Fleeing from the door of fortune is not my custom or way.
Since the day I set my face toward this threshold,
The summit of the sun's throne has been my resting place.
Though sin was not our choice, Hafez,
Be polite on the path, say that it is my sin.
