Ghazal 052 from Divan of Hafez

For days, the idol of my beloved has been my religion,
The sorrow of this affair is the joy of my sorrowful heart.

Only the eye of the soul can see your face,
And this is far beyond the capacity of my worldly eye.

Be my beloved, for the beauty of the heavens and the ornament of the world
Are from your moon-like face and my Procyon-like tears.

Since your love taught me the art of speaking,
Praise and admiration of me has become the world's refrain.

O God, grant me the wealth of poverty,
For this grace is the reason for my honor and respect.

O preacher, do not sell this greatness to the bailiff,
For the dwelling place of the sultan is my humble heart.

O Lord, who is the viewer of this Kaaba of my desire?
For the pilgrims of its path are my rose and jasmine.

Hafez, do not tell the tale of the majesty of Parviz anymore,
For his lips have drunk from the cup of my sweet king.
