The true beloved is not one with curly hair and a lean waist, Ghazal 125 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
The true beloved is not one with curly hair and a lean waist,
But be the servant of that beauty who has that [unique] quality.
Though the manner of houris and fairies is delicate,
The good is that beauty and delicacy that [your beloved] has.
O smiling flower, understand the spring of my eye,
For it has a pleasant flow in hope of you.
Who can carry news of your beauty? For the sun there
Is not a horse that is in someone's hand with reins.
My heart was reassured when you accepted my words,
Yes, yes, the words of love have a sign.
The curve of your eyebrow in the art of archery
Has taken the heart of anyone who has a bow.
On the path of love, no one has been certainly privy to the secret,
Everyone has a suspicion according to their thought.
Don’t compare the miracles of the tavern-dwellers to the mullahs,
Every word has its time and every point its place.
The clever bird doesn’t build a nest in its meadow,
Every spring has an autumn following.
Don’t display your riddles and points to Hafez,
My pen also has a language and an expression.
