For the sake of the one whose heart was as accessible as life itself
I would have been the humblest of offerings to their servants
I would have said what is the price of the dust of their feet
If eternal life were a precious thing
The cypress tree would have confessed to their servitude
If they had a thousand tongues like a free lily
I don't even see them in my dreams, what of union?
Since this was not so, and we did not see them once
If my heart had not been bound to their locks
When would they have had any peace in this dark world?
Their face is like the sun, unparalleled in the universe
But alas, in their heart, there was not a particle of kindness
I wish you had entered my door like a ray of light
So that your decree would have been upon our two eyes
When would Hafez's lament have come out from behind the curtain
If you had not been the companion of the morning birds?
