Ghazaliyat of Hafez Ghazal 003
Description: Ghazal three from Divan of Hafez
If that Shirazian Turk were to capture my heart,
I would gladly give Samarkand and Bukhara for her Indian mole.
O wine-server, bring the eternal wine that you won't find in paradise,
Beside the waters of Ruknabad and the garden of Musalla.
Alas, these playful, sweet-natured, city-disturbing rogues,
Have stolen my patience like the Turkmen plunder the battlefield.
My beloved's beauty is quite independent of our incomplete love,
What need has a beautiful face for water, color, mole, or line?
From Yusuf's ever-increasing beauty, I learned,That love can draw
Zuleikha out from behind the veil of chastity.
If you insult me, or even curse me, I will still pray for you,
A bitter reply befits a sweet-lipped ruby.
Listen to advice, my dear, for the fortunate youth,
Cherish the counsel of the wise old man.
Speak of music and wine, and seek less the secret of time,
For no one has solved, nor will solve, this riddle with wisdom.
You've composed a ghazal and scattered pearls, come and sing joyfully,
Hafez,For the heavens will shower the Pleiades upon your verse.
