Ghazal No. 143: For years, the heart sought the goblet of Jam from us
غزل شماره ۱۴۳: سالها دل طلب جام جم از ما میکرد
For years heart sought Jam's cup from us
And what it had itself sought from stranger
سالها دل طلب جام جم از ما میکرد
وان چه خود داشت ز بیگانه تمنا میکرد
Pearl that's outside shell of existence and place
Sought from lost ones at sea's shore
گوهری کز صدف کون و مکان بیرون است
طلب از گمشدگان لب دریا میکرد
Took my problem to Magian elder last night
Who with sight's confirmation solved riddle
مشکل خویش بر پیر مغان بردم دوش
کو به تأیید نظر حل معما میکرد
Saw him happy and laughing wine cup in hand
And in that mirror made hundred kinds of watching
دیدمش خرم و خندان قدح باده به دست
و اندر آن آینه صد گونه تماشا میکرد
I said when did sage give you this world-showing cup
Said that day when making this azure dome
گفتم این جام جهان بین به تو کی داد حکیم
گفت آن روز که این گنبد مینا میکرد
A heartless one in all states God was with them
They didn't see Him and called God from afar
بی دلی در همه احوال خدا با او بود
او نمیدیدش و از دور خدا را میکرد
All this self-magic that was making here
Samiri did before staff and white hand
این همه شعبده خویش که میکرد این جا
سامری پیش عصا و ید بیضا میکرد
Said that friend from whom gallows became high
Their crime was this that revealed secrets
گفت آن یار کز او گشت سر دار بلند
جرمش این بود که اسرار هویدا میکرد
If Holy Spirit's grace again grants help
Others too will do what Messiah did
فیض روح القدس ار باز مدد فرماید
دیگران هم بکنند آن چه مسیحا میکرد
I said to him chain of idols' tress is for what
Said Hafez was making complaint from crazy heart
گفتمش سلسله زلف بتان از پی چیست
گفت حافظ گلهای از دل شیدا میکرد
