Whoever has a collected heart and a lovely beloved: Ghazal 121 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Whoever has a collected heart and a lovely beloved
Has found fortune as a companion and prosperity as a neighbor.
The threshold of the realm of love is much higher than reason.
Only one who has their life in their sleeve can kiss that threshold.
Her sweet, narrow mouth must be Solomon's kingdom,
For the imprint of her ruby seal has the world beneath its gem.
With ruby lips and a dark mole, since she has both,
I praise my beloved, whose beauty has both.
Do not look down on the weak and feeble, O benefactor,
For the head of the pleasure gathering has a beggar as its guest.
While you are on the earth, consider ability a treasure,
For there are many periods of weakness beneath the earth.
The prayer of the needy is for those who torment body and soul,
For who sees good in that harvest whose reaper is ashamed?
O gentle breeze, tell a secret of my love to that beautiful king,
That a hundred Jamshids and Kay Khusrows are slaves to the least of me.
And if he says he does not want, like the impoverished lover Hafez,
Tell him that kingship has poverty as its companion.
