One cannot put a hand in the ring of those twin curls, Ghazal 136 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
One cannot put a hand in the ring of those twin curls,
One cannot rely on your promise and the morning breeze.
I will do all I can in my pursuit of you,
But this much is certain, I cannot change fate.
My heart's skirt has fallen into a hundred pools of blood,
I cannot release it from the accusations of the enemy.
One cannot compare her face to the moon in the sky,
One cannot compare a friend to anyone without a head or foot.
When my cypress-like beloved begins to dance,
What place is there for the garment of the soul, that it cannot be a robe?
Only a pure gaze can see the beloved's face,
For in the mirror of the heart, one cannot but see purity.
The difficulty of love is not within the capacity of our knowledge,
This riddle cannot be solved with this faulty thinking.
My jealousy has killed me, for you are a beloved of the world,
But one cannot make a nightly disturbance with the people of God.
What shall I say? Your delicate and refined nature
Is such that one cannot even pray softly.
Besides your eyebrows, there is no prayer niche in Hafez's heart,
We cannot worship anyone else in our religion.
