Ghazal No. 287: The bringer of good news came with a good tidings
غزل شماره ۲۸۷: ورد البشیر مبشرا ببشاره
The bearer of good tidings arrived, bringing good news
He revived the heart in the evening with its arrival
ورد البشیر مبشرا ببشاره
احیی الفؤاد عشیه بورودها
It was as if the earth was illuminated by its spring
It was as if the sun shone with its cheeks
فکان ارضا نورت بربیعها
فکان شمسا اشرقت بخدودها
O you who stab me in my youth and my recklessness
Look at the fire of passion and its fuel
یا طاعنی فی صبوتی و تهتکی
انظر الی نار الهوی و وقودها
