Check out the latest ghazal from hamed:
Solitude is pleasant if my beloved is my companion, Ghazal 160 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Solitude is pleasant if my beloved is my companion,
Not that I burn and he is the candle of the gathering.
I am not that Solomon's ring that is worthless to me,
Upon which the devil's hand occasionally falls.
O God, do not allow it that in the realm of union,
A rival, intimate and deprived, should be my lot.
O royal bird, never cast your shadow of honor
In a land where the parrot is no better than a crow.
What need is there for expressing longing? The fire of the heart's passion
Can be known from the burning that is in the words.
The desire for your street does not leave my head, truly,
A stranger's restless heart is with his homeland.
If Hafez becomes as eloquent as a lily,
Like a bud before you, he will keep his mouth shut.
