Ghazal 045 from Divan of Hafez
In this age, a friend free from defect
Is a jug of pure wine and a ship of poetry.
Turn the page slowly, for the path of safety is narrow,
Take up the cup, for precious life is priceless.
I am not only weary of the …

Ghazal 044 from Divan of Hafez
Now that a cup of clear wine is in the hand of the flower,
The nightingale is describing it in a hundred thousand tongues.
Seek your book of poems and take the path of the wilderness,
For what time is it for school and the discussion …

Ghazal 041 from Divan of Hafez
Though wine brings joy and the breeze carries the scent of flowers,

All thanks to God that the door of the tavern is open,

What need has my garden for cypress and pine?
Is our home-grown cypress any less?

That our blood is more lawful than our mother's milk?
When you see the image of sorrow from afar, you crave wine,
We have …

Without the light of your face, my day has no light,
And of my life, only the darkest night remains.
At the time of our farewell, I cried so much,
Far from your face, my eye has no light.
Your image would leave my eye and …
