Suddenly you’ve lifted the veil, what does this mean?
Drunk, you’ve rushed out of the house, what does this mean?
Your locks are in the breeze, your ear is attentive to your rival
You’ve compromised with everyone like this, what does this mean?
You are the king of beauties yet you’ve become the goal of beggars
You don’t recognize the value of this position, what does this mean?
You didn’t first give me your flowing locks
Now you’ve thrown me to the ground, what does this mean?
Your words are a secret of the mouth, your waist a secret of the middle
And from the middle you’ve drawn a sword at us, what does this mean?
Everyone is engaged in a different pattern with the beads of your love
In the end, you’ve lost to everyone, what does this mean?
Hafez, when your beloved descended into your narrow heart
Why didn’t you drive everyone else out of the house?
