A nightingale held a sweet-colored rose petal in its beak: Ghazal 77 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
A nightingale held a sweet-colored rose petal in its beak,
And within that leaf and song, there were mournful laments.
I asked it, "What is this wailing and crying in the midst of union?"
It said, "The manifestation of the beloved has this effect on us."
If the beloved doesn't sit with us, there's no reason to complain,
A victorious king is ashamed of begging.
Our needs and coquetry don't impress the beauty of the friend,
Happy is he who has a fortunate lot with the beloved.
Arise, let's sacrifice our lives for the pen of that artist,
For all these wondrous designs were created with a compass.
If you are a disciple of the path of love, don't worry about a bad reputation,
The Sheikh of San'an pawned his robe for a winehouse.
It's time for that sweet Qalandar, who in his wandering ways,
Had the remembrance of the angels' rosary within his girdle.
Hafez's eye, under the roof of that heavenly-created beauty,
Had the manner of the Gardens of Paradise beneath which rivers flow.
