You saw that the beloved had nothing but cruelty and oppression: Ghazal 78 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
You saw that the beloved had nothing but cruelty and oppression,
He broke his promise and had no sorrow for our grief.
O God, don't take him away, even though he broke my heart like a dove's,
And killed me, though I had the honor of being a captive in his harem.
The cruelty to me came from my own bad fortune, otherwise the beloved,
Heaven forbid, had no custom of kindness or way of generosity.
Despite all this, whoever did not suffer humiliation from him,
Wherever he went, no one respected him.
O cupbearer, bring wine, and tell the moralist,
Don't deny us, for such a cup had no equal.
Every passerby who did not reach the threshold of his door,
Poorly cut the valley and had no path to the sanctuary.
Hafez, take the ball of eloquence, for the claimant
Had no art, nor even any knowledge.
