Whoever has heard your sweet scent from the morning breeze, Ghazal 243 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
Whoever has heard your sweet scent from the morning breeze,
Has heard familiar words from a familiar friend.
O king of beauty, cast a glance at this beggar's state,
For this ear has heard much of kings and beggars.
I delight my soul with the musk-scented wine,
For I have heard hypocrisy from the dervish's robe.
The secret of God, which the pious mystic has not told to anyone,
I wonder where the wine seller heard it from.
O Lord, where is the confidant of a secret, to whom one time,
My heart could explain what it said and what it heard.
It was not fitting for my truthful heart,
To hear unkind words from its comforter.
If I have been deprived of the threshold of his love, so what?
From the garden of time, what scent of loyalty has been heard?
O wine server, come, for love calls out loudly,
That he who told our story has also heard from us.
We do not drink wine under our robes today,
The old wine seller has heard this story a hundred times.
We do not drink wine to the sound of the lute today,
It has been a long time since the celestial dome has heard this sound.
The sage's advice is purely right and the ultimate good,
Fortunate is he who has heard it with acceptance.
Hafez, your duty is only to pray,
Do not be bound by whether it was heard or not.
