In beauty, character, and loyalty, no one can compare to my beloved, Ghazal 156 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
In beauty, character, and loyalty, no one can compare to my beloved,
No one can deny this truth about my beloved.
Although beauty-sellers have come forth with their charms,
No one can compare to my beloved in beauty and grace.
By the right of our long acquaintance, no confidant of secrets
Can match the loyalty and devotion of my beloved.
A thousand designs emerge from the pen of creation, but not one
Can match the pleasing design of my beloved's portrait.
A thousand coins are brought to the market of existence,
But none can match the pure coin of my beloved.
Alas for the caravan of life, which has passed so quickly
That not even their dust reaches the air of our land.
Heart, do not be troubled by the envy of the envious and be confident,
For evil will not reach the hopeful among us.
Live in such a way that if you become the dust of the road, no one
Will have a speck of dust on their path from passing us.
Hafez burned, and I fear that the tale of his story
Will not reach the ears of our successful king.
