I turned my face towards his path, but he did not pass by me, Ghazal 139 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
I turned my face towards his path, but he did not pass by me,
I had a hundred kind looks in my eyes, but he gave me not one glance.
The flood of our tears could not wash away the malice from his heart,
Like raindrops on a hard stone, my tears left no trace.
O Lord, protect that brave young man,
Who did not fear the arrow of the hermit's sigh.
Last night, neither fish nor bird slept from my wailing,
And yet that playful-eyed one did not lift his head from sleep.
I wanted to melt like a candle at his feet,
But he passed by us like the morning breeze.
My dear, what heartless and incompetent person is this,
Who did not shield his life from the wound of your sharp sword?
Hafez's tongue-tied pen in the gathering,
Did not tell anyone your secret until it was broken.
