Fortune shows me no sign from my beloved's lips, Ghazal 229 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Fortune shows me no sign from my beloved's lips,
Destiny gives no news of my hidden secret.
For a kiss from her lips, I would give my life,
But she takes this and gives me nothing in return.
I am dying in this separation, and there is no way through that curtain,
Or perhaps there is, but the gatekeeper shows me no sign.
The wanton wind has pulled at her locks,
For there is no room for my gentle breeze there.
As much as I try to approach her like a compass,
Time, like a point, does not allow me to reach the center.
Eventually, patience will yield sweetness, but
The treachery of time does not give me time.
I said I would go to sleep and see my beloved’s face,
But Hafez, sighs and laments give me no respite.
