If that celestial bird returns through my door, Ghazal 236 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
If that celestial bird returns through my door,
The years that have passed will return to my aged head.
I have hope in these tears like rain, that once more
The flash of fortune that left my sight will return.
The one whose crown of my head was the dust of his feet,
I pray to God that she may return to my head.
I wish to follow her, I promise this to the friends,
Let news of me return, even if my person does not return.
If I do not offer the jewel of my life for my beloved’s step,
What else will my life be good for?
I will beat a new drum of fortune from the roof of prosperity
If I see that the moon of my journey returns.
It is the clamor of the lute and the sweet sleep of the morning wine
That prevent it, otherwise if she hears my morning sigh, she will return.
Longing for the face of the queen like the moon, Hafez,
May she return to my door in good health.
