Fal Hafez

Poem Number 11

O wine-bearer brighten my cup ...

Draw a fortune from this ghazalMake an intention, then let Hafez answer through this ghazal.

The ghazal

O wine-bearer brighten my cup with the wine

O minstrel say good fortune is now mine.

The face of my Beloved is reflected in my cup

Little you know why with wine, I always myself align.

Eternal is the one whose heart has awakened to Love

This is how Eternal Records my life define.

So proud are the tall beauties of the world

Outshines all the others this handsome spruce of mine.

O breeze if by chance you pass through friendly gardens

From me to my Beloved, please give a sign;

Ask why you choose to forget my name?

Will come the one to whom an audience you decline.

Intoxication pleases my Beloved and my Lord

To the wine, they would assign, my life's design.

What if on Judgment Day, no favor would be gained

From eating bread and leaving a forbidden water so fine?

Hafiz, let a tear drop or two leave your eyes,

May we ensnare the Bird of Union, divine.

The sea of the skies and the gondola of the moon

With the grace of the Master, radiantly shine.
