It's been a long time since my beloved sent a message, Ghazal 109 by Hafez Shirazi
Description: English Translation:
It's been a long time since my beloved sent a message,
They haven't written a greeting or a word.
I've sent a hundred letters, but that royal horseman
Has not sent a messenger nor a greeting.
Toward me, wild and with a wandering mind,
They haven't sent a gazelle-like glance or a partridge's strut.
They knew I would become a heart-bird lost,
And so they didn't send that line like a noose.
Alas, that intoxicated cupbearer with sugar-sweet lips,
Knew I was drunk and didn't send a cup.
As much as I boasted of miracles and stations,
They didn't send me news of any station.
Hafez, be polite, there's no need for a reply,
If a king doesn't send a message to a slave.
