You have not written according to my state for many days, Ghazal 182 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
You have not written according to my state for many days,
Who is the confidant I can send to you with a few messages?
We cannot reach that lofty destination,
Unless your kindness takes a few steps forward.
As the wine went from the jug to the goblet and the flower dropped its veil,
Seize the opportunity for pleasure and raise a few cups.
Sugar mixed with flowers is not the cure for our heart,
Mix a few kisses with a few insults.
Let the ascetic pass safely through the alley of the revelers,
So that a few words of bad reputation do not ruin him.
You have said all the faults of wine, now tell its virtues too,
Do not negate wisdom for the sake of a few common people.
O beggars of the tavern, God is with you,
Do not expect favors from a few benefactors.
The old man of the tavern said well to his suffering friend,
"Do not speak of the state of your burning heart with such rawness."
Hafez has burned from the longing for your sunlit face,
O successful one, cast a glance at a few failures.
