Ghazal No. 53: Your love brought a cup full of calamities

غزل شماره ۵۳: عشق تو آورد قدح پر ز بلاها

Your love brought a cup full of calamities

I said, "I will not drink wine in your presence, O king!"

عشق تو آورد قدح پر ز بلاها

گفتم می می‌نخورم پیش تو شاها

The wine of his knowledge gave (me) that sugar land

I became intoxicated, (and he) carried me to where all

داد می معرفتش آن شکرستان

مست شدم برد مرا تا به کجاها

From one side, the trustworthy spirit came hidden

I ran forward to see the work and wonders

از طرفی روح امین آمد پنهان

پیش دویدم که ببین کار و کیاها

I said, "O secret of God, hide your face!"

(He) thanked God and spoke praises (and) said prayers

گفتم ای سر خدا روی نهان کن

شکر خدا کرد و ثنا گفت دعاها

I said, "The hidden lover himself does not become (visible)"

"What is it that becomes a veil before the pure ones?"

گفتم خود آن نشود عاشق پنهان

چیست که آن پرده شود پیش صفاها

When love becomes bloodthirsty, woe from it, woe!

Mount Uhud will be torn apart, especially like us moons

عشق چو خون خواره شود وای از او وای

کوه احد پاره شود خاصه چو ماها

Happy is the moment when that king of mine comes laughing

Opens, out of generosity, the fastenings of (his) robes

شاد دمی کان شه من آید خندان

باز گشاید به کرم بند قباها

Says, "You have become depressed without our gaze"

"Come forward so that the airs may strike you"

گوید افسرده شدی بی‌نظر ما

پیشتر آ تا بزند بر تو هواها

Says, "Where is that kindness of yours, O all goodness?"

"Show yourself to your servant, O opener of bonds!"

گوید کان لطف تو کو ای همه خوبی

بنده خود را بنما بندگشاها

Says, "No, you will become fresh, do not grieve at all"

"(You will be) fresher than the narcissus and the rose at the time of the morning breeze"

گوید نی تازه شوی هیچ مخور غم

تازه‌تر از نرگس و گل وقت صباها

I say, "O you who have given medicine to both worlds"

"I have no medicine for my soul except your lips"

گویم ای داده دوا هر دو جهان را

نیست مرا جز لب تو جان دواها

The fruit of every branch and tree is his witness

My face, like gold, and my tears are witnesses

میوه هر شاخ و شجر هست گوایش

روی چو زر و اشک مرا هست گواها
