News has arrived that spring has come and the grass has sprouted, Ghazal 239 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
News has arrived that spring has come and the grass has sprouted,
If duty arrives, its consumption is flowers and wine.
The bird’s song has arisen, where is the wine flask?
The nightingale cries out, what veil has the flower drawn?
What pleasure from heavenly fruits can one find,
Whoever has not tasted the apple of the beloved’s dimples?
Do not complain of sorrow, for on the path of seeking,
He who has not toiled has not easily arrived.
Pluck a flower from the moon-faced wine server today,
For around the garden’s cheek, the line of the violet has bloomed.
The wine server’s coquetry has stolen my heart so much,
That I have no inclination to speak or listen with anyone else.
I want to burn this colorful patch like a flower,
Which the old wine seller has not bought for a single sip.
Spring is passing, O just judge, take heed,
For the season has passed and Hafez has still not tasted wine.
