I have endured a love pain that you should not ask about

I have tasted the poison of separation that you should not ask about

I have wandered the world and in the end

I have chosen a beloved that you should not ask about

So much in the air of the dust of her door

My tears flow that you should not ask about

Last night, with my own ears, from her mouth

I heard words that you should not ask about

Why do you choose to speak to me, do not say

I have chosen a ruby lip that you should not ask about

Without you, in my beggar's hut

I have endured hardships that you should not ask about

Like Hafez, a stranger on the path of love

I have reached a station that you should not ask about
