One who beholds the beauty and the line of the beloved: Ghazal 116 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
One who beholds the beauty and the line of the beloved
Is surely certain to have a keen sight.
Like a pen under his command, we have bowed our heads in obedience,
Unless perhaps he intends to take our heads with a sword.
Like a moth, one finds union with you,
For under your sword, a new head emerges every moment.
The hand of one who reaches to kiss your feet
Always has its head bowed like a threshold to this door.
I am weary of dry asceticism, where is the pure wine?
For the scent of wine constantly makes my brain thirsty.
If you have nothing from wine, is it not enough that you
Are for a moment unaware of the temptation of reason?
One who has not stepped outside the path of piety
Now has the journey of the tavern as his aim.
