Blessed is the memory of one who, at the time of departure, Ghazal 138 by Hafez
Description: Blessed is the memory of one who, at the time of departure,
Did not remember us, nor gladdened our grieving hearts.
That fortunate young man, who wrote the script of good fortune and acceptance,
Did not free this old servant, I do not know why.
I would wash my paper-thin garment in blood,
If the sky had not guided me to the banner of justice.
My heart cried out in this mountain, more than Farhad,
In hope of a sound that might reach you.
When the shadow of the morning bird retreated from the meadow,
It did not make a nest in the tangle of the cypress's tresses.
Perhaps if the messenger of the breeze learned from you,
It would move faster than this wind has.
The coiffeur's pen cannot draw the picture of my desire,
Whoever did not confess to this God-given beauty.
O musician, turn the page and play the melody of Iraq,
For on this path, my beloved has gone and did not remember me.
Hafez's song is an Iraqi ode,
Who heard this sorrowful path, and did not cry out?
