Now that the flower has come into existence from nothingness in the meadow, Ghazal 219 by Hafez

By @hamed | poet: Hafez Shirazi

کنون که در چمن آمد گُل از عَدَم به وجود

بنفشه در قدمِ او نهاد سر به سجود

***

بنوش جامِ صبوحی به نالهٔ دَف و چنگ

ببوس غَبغَب ساقی به نغمهٔ نی و عود

***

به دورِ گُل منشین بی شراب و شاهد و چنگ

که همچو روزِ بقا هفته‌ای بُوَد معدود

***

شد از خروجِ رِیاحین چو آسمان روشن-

زمین، به اخترِ میمون و طالعِ مسعود

***

ز دستِ شاهدِ نازک‌عِذار عیسی‌دَم

شراب نوش و رها کن حدیثِ عاد و ثمود

***

جهان چو خُلدِ بَرین شد به دورِ سوسن و گل

ولی چه سود که در وِی نه ممکن است خُلُود

***

چو گل سوار شَوَد بر هوا سلیمان‌وار

سحر که مرغ درآید به نغمهٔ داوود-

***

به باغ، تازه کن آیینِ دینِ زردشتی

کنون که لاله برافروخت آتشِ نمرود

***

بخواه جامِ صَبوحی به یادِ آصفِ عهد

وزیرِ مُلکِ سلیمان، عمادِ دین، محمود

***

بُوَد که مجلس حافظ به یمن تربیتش

هر آنچه می‌طلبد جمله باشدش موجود

***

Description:

English Translation:

Now that the flower has come into existence from nothingness in the meadow,
The violet has bowed its head in prostration at its feet.

Drink a cup of morning wine to the sound of the tambourine and lute,
Kiss the cupbearer's cup to the melody of the ney and oud.

Do not sit around the flower without wine, a beloved, and a lute,
For such days as these are few like the days of eternity.

With the emergence of the hyacinths, the sky has become bright,
The earth, with a lucky star and a prosperous fate.

From the hand of the delicate-faced, breath-of-Jesus beloved,
Drink wine and forget the tales of Aad and Thamud.

The world has become like the heavenly paradise around the lily and rose,
But what good is it if eternity is not possible within it?

Like Solomon, the flower will ride upon the air,
At dawn when the bird rises with the melody of David.

In the garden, renew the religion of Zoroaster,
Now that the tulip has kindled the fire of Nimrod.

Ask for a cup of morning wine in remembrance of Asaf of the era,
The minister of Solomon's kingdom, the pillar of the religion, Mahmud.

It may be that Hafez's gathering, through the blessing of his upbringing,
Everything he desires will be present.
