Welcome, flower, and even better than that, Ghazal 162 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Welcome, flower, and even better than that,
If there’s nothing in your hand but a goblet.
Seize this moment of joy and find your pearl,
For a pearl is not always in an oyster shell.
Treasure this moment and drink wine in the rose garden,
For the flower will not be here next week.
O you with ruby lips, who holds a golden cup,
Forgive one who has no gold.
Come, O Sheikh, and from our wine cellar
Drink wine that is not found in the celestial river.
Wash your pages if you are a fellow student of mine,
For the knowledge of love is not in a book.
Drink from me and bind your heart to a witness,
Whose beauty is not adorned with jewelry.
O Lord, give me a wine without a hangover,
With which there is no headache.
I am a servant of that Sultan from my heart,
Even if he does not remember his servant.
The sun adorns the crown of the world,
For nothing is as beautiful as this diadem.
Whoever finds fault with Hafez’s poetry,
Has no grace in their essence.
