Blessed be the memory of those secret glances you gave me, Ghazal 204 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Blessed be the memory of those secret glances you gave me,
When your love's signature was evident on my face.
Blessed be the memory of when your reproachful gaze would slay me,
Like the miraculous healing of Jesus in your sweet-lipped words.
Blessed be the memory of when we drank wine together in a gathering of friends,
Just you and I, and God was with us.
Blessed be the memory of when your face lit up like a joyous candle,
And this burning heart was a careless moth.
Blessed be the memory of that gathering of good manners and refinement,
Where you laughed a drunken laugh over wine.
Blessed be the memory of when your smile like a ruby in a goblet,
There were many tales between me and your ruby lips.
Blessed be the memory of when my beloved girded her waist,
And the new moon, a messenger of the world, was at her stirrup.
Blessed be the memory of when I was a tavern dweller and drunk,
And what I lack in my mosque today was there.
Blessed be the memory of when, with your correction,
The order of every unpolished gem that Hafez had was made right.
