My heart is captive to your tresses, its own undoing,
Kill me with a glance, for this is its just reward.
If you can fulfill my heart's desire,
Then be by my side, for that would be better for me.
For your sake, O sweet-lipped idol, like a candle,
My dark night's desire is my own annihilation.
When love's decree struck you, I said to you, O nightingale,
Don't make that smiling rose your own goal.
The rose's fragrance does not need musk or ambergris,
For its scent comes from its own petals.
Don't go to the house of the world's unkind masters,
For your treasure of well-being is in your own abode.
Hafez burned, and in his lovemaking,
He is still faithful to his own vows.

If my path leads me to the tavern once more, Ghazal 335 by Hafez
Description: English Translation:
If my path leads me to the tavern once more
The result of my robe and prayer mat will be an open door.
Even if I put on the ring of repentance today like the ascetics
The keeper of the tavern will not close the door on me tomorrow.
And if, like a moth, I am given the freedom of flight
My flight will be only towards that face of the candle.
I desire not the company of houris, which is a great deficiency
If I am occupied with your thought even with another.
The secret of my longing for you has remained hidden in my heart
If your sharp-eyed glance has not revealed my secret.
Like a bird, I have grown weary of the cage of earth
In the hope that a shooting star will capture me.
If you do not give my heart the pleasure of your side like a lute
I will play a tune on my own lips like a flute.
I will not tell anyone the story of my bleeding heart
For no one is my confidant except your sword of sorrow.
If there is a head for every hair on Hafez's body
I will cast them all at your feet.
