Description:

English Translation:

Your beauty, in conjunction with charm, captivated the world;
Yes, by coincidence, one can conquer the world.

The candle wanted to reveal the secret of the solitary,
Thank God, the secret of his heart was caught in its tongue.

From this hidden fire that is in my chest,
The sun has taken a flame that burns in the sky.

The flower wanted to breathe the color and scent of the beloved,
Out of jealousy, the breeze caught its breath in its mouth.

I was peacefully settling like a compass,
Time, like a dot, finally encompassed me.

That day, the desire for the wine cup burned my haystack,
For the fire caught from the reflection of the cupbearer's face.

I want to become dust-covered in the alley of the mystics,
From these troubles that have gripped the end of time.

Drink wine, for whoever has seen the end of the world,
Has risen above sorrow and taken up the heavy jug.

On the leaf of a rose, with the blood of a tulip, it is written:
He who is mature has taken wine like a purple hyacinth.

Hafez, like water of grace, drips from your poetry,
How can an envious person find fault with it?
