I’m determined to do something to end my sorrow, Ghazal 232 by Hafez

Description: I’m determined to do something to end my sorrow,
If I can manage it I will do it somehow.

The solitude of the heart is no place for the company of opposites,
When the devil exits, the angel enters.

The company of tyrants is the darkness of the longest night,
Seek light from the sun, for it will rise.

Why sit at the door of the world’s rude masters?
When will the master come out to receive you?

Do not abandon begging, for you may find treasure
From the glance of a passerby who is generous.

The righteous and the fortunate have shown their wares,
So that they may be accepted and noticed.

O nightingale, the lover, ask for life, so that finally
The garden may become green and the flower branch may bear fruit.

Hafez's neglect in this mansion is no surprise,
Whoever goes to the tavern comes out unaware.
