Perhaps they will open the doors of the taverns, Ghazal 202 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Perhaps they will open the doors of the taverns,
And untie the knot of our entangled affairs?
If they closed it for the sake of the self-conceited ascetic,
Be of good cheer, for they will open it for God’s sake.
By the purity of the hearts of the joyful wine-drinkers,
Many closed doors are opened with the key of prayer.
Write a letter of condolence about the daughter of the rose,
So that all the curly-haired beauties will open their locks.
Cut the hair of the lute at the death of pure wine,
So that all rivals will shed tears from their eyelashes.
God forbid they should close the door of the tavern,
And open the door of hypocrisy and pretense.
Hafez, tomorrow you will see this robe you are wearing,
And what a girdle they will open deceitfully from beneath it.
