Those who change dust to gold with a glance, Ghazal 196 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Those who change dust to gold with a glance,
Will they perhaps glance at us?
My pain is better hidden from the pretentious physicians,
Perhaps they will find a cure from the treasury of the unseen.
Since the beloved doesn’t remove the veil from her face,
Why does everyone make up stories in their imagination?
Since beauty is ultimately neither in revelry nor asceticism,
It is better to leave one’s affairs to divine grace.
Don’t be ignorant, for in me is the Yazid of love,
People of insight deal with the familiar.
There is much turmoil hidden behind this curtain,
Who knows what they will do when the curtain is lifted?
Don’t be surprised if the stone laments this tale,
Those with hearts recite tales of joy.
Drink wine, for a hundred sins hidden from others
Are better than worship done with hypocrisy.
A garment that bears the scent of Yusuf,
I fear my jealous brothers will seize.
Pass by the tavern so that the assembly of the present
May spend their time in prayer for you.
Hidden from the envious, I say to myself, those who forbid,
Do good deeds secretly for the sake of God.
Hafez, lasting union is not possible,
Kings pay little attention to the state of beggars.
