I said I am afflicted by your sorrow, she said your sorrow will end

I said become my moon, she said if it rises

I said learn loyalty from the lovers

She said this is less common among the beautiful ones

I said I will block the way of thought from your imagination

She said he is a night traveler, he will come from another path

I said the scent of your tresses led me astray

She said if you knew, he would be your guide

I said how delightful is the air that rises with the morning breeze

She said how pleasant is the breeze that comes from the beloved's alley

I said your ruby lips killed me with desire

She said you serve, for he who nurtures servants will come

I said when will your merciful heart decide to make peace

She said do not tell anyone until that time comes

I said did you see how the time of joy ended

She said be silent, Hafez, for this sorrow will also end
