What is secret wine and pleasure? A foundationless affair. Ghazal 101 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
What is secret wine and pleasure? A foundationless affair.
We've joined the ranks of the revelers, and let whatever happen, happen.
Untie the knot from your heart and forget about the heavens,
For no engineer's mind has ever untied such a knot.
Don't be surprised by the revolution of time, for the celestial sphere
Remembers thousands and thousands of such tales.
Take a cup, with due respect, from the one whose mixture
Comes from the cup of Jamshid, Bahman, and Qabad.
Who knows where Kavus and Kay went?
Who is aware of how Jam's throne was blown to the wind?
From the longing for a sweet lip, I still see
The tulip blooming from the blood of Farhad's eyes.
Perhaps the tulip knew the treachery of time,
That until it bloomed and grew, it did not put the cup of wine down.
Come, come, let us be ruined by wine for a while,
Perhaps we will find a treasure in this ruined city.
They don't give me permission to travel far,
Just the breeze of the Musalla and the water of Ruknabad.
Don't take a cup, O Hafez, unless it's to the sound of the lute,
For they have tied the joyful heart to the silk of sorrow.
