The beloved departed and did not inform the lovelorn, Ghazal 140 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
The beloved departed and did not inform the lovelorn,
Nor did he remember the friend of the city and the companion of the journey.
Either my fortune neglected the path of generosity,
Or he did not pass through the highway of the spiritual path.
I said perhaps I could soften his heart with tears,
But my tears had no effect on his stony heart.
Don’t jest, for the restless bird of my heart
Has not abandoned the dream of the lover's snare.
Whoever saw your face kissed my eye,
A deed that my sight could not ignore.
I stood ready to sacrifice my life for him like a candle,
But he passed by us like the morning breeze.
