I was a Muslim, when I had a heart, Ghazal 217 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
I was a Muslim, when I had a heart,
With whom I would confide if there was any trouble.
When I fell into a whirlpool of sorrow,
I had hope for the shore through their wisdom.
A sympathetic heart, a friend who saw what was best,
Who was the confidant of every heartbroken soul.
From me was lost, in the beloved’s alley,
What a captivating and delightful dwelling it was, O Lord!
Skill without flaw is not deprived, but
Who was more deprived than me, O seeker?
Have mercy on this troubled soul,
For once it had a perfect mastery.
Until love taught me the art of speech,
My words were the topic of every gathering.
Don’t say anymore that Hafez is a connoisseur,
For we have seen and he was a complete fool.
