O parrot, eloquent speaker of secrets, Ghazal 245 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
O parrot, eloquent speaker of secrets,
May your beak never be empty of sugar.
May your head be green and your heart eternally happy,
For you have beautifully depicted the lines of your beloved.
You have spoken enigmatically with your companions,
For God's sake, draw the curtain from this riddle.
Pour from the rosy goblet upon our faces,
For we are drowsy, O wakeful fortune.
What path was this that struck the lute player's curtain,
That both the drunk and the sober dance together?
From that opium that the wine server casts into the wine,
Neither the companions' heads nor turbans remain.
Alexander was not granted water,
This cannot be achieved by force or gold.
Come and hear the state of the afflicted,
With few words but profound meaning.
The porcelain idol is the enemy of religion and hearts,
O God, protect my heart and my faith.
Do not reveal the secrets of intoxication to the uninitiated,
Do not speak of the heart's discourse to the wall.
Due to the fortune of the victorious king,
Hafez has become a standard-bearer in poetry.
God has made him the equal of the servants,
O God, protect him from his afflictions.
