Me and denying wine! What a tale is this? Ghazal 158 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Me and denying wine! What a tale is this?
Often, this is all the sense and ability I have.
Until now, I didn't know the ultimate path to the tavern,
Otherwise, our secret would have been revealed to what extent.
The ascetic, wonder, prayer, and me, intoxication and need,
With whom will your favor ultimately be?
If the ascetic does not take the path of debauchery, he is excused,
Love is a matter that is dependent on guidance.
I who have abandoned the path of piety at night with a tambourine and lute,
What a tale it would be if I now turn my head to that path.
I am the old servant of the Magians, may they free me from my ignorance,
Whatever our old man does is the essence of grace.
Last night, I did not sleep from this sorrow, for a friend said,
If Hafez is drunk, there is reason to complain.
