Fal Hafez

Poem Number 116

That one that , in his vision ...

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

The ghazal

That one that , in his vision , the beauty of the line of beard of the true Beloved hath

Certain it is that the acquisition of vision he hath . *** Like the reed , on the writing of His order , the head of obedience ,

We have placed . Perchance , with His sword , our head from the body uplifted He hath . *** In union with Thee , like the candle found the order that one ,

Who , beneath Thy sword , momently another head hath . *** Attained to foot - kissing , the hand of that one , who

Ever his head , like the threshold , on this door , hath . *** One day , Thy watcher struck an arrow into my chest

Through grief for Thee , many an arrow , my shieldless chest hath . *** I am vexed with dry austerity . Bring pure wine

For , my brain ever fresh , wine's perfume keepeth . *** If from wine , thine is no good quality , is not this enough that , thee ,

A moment , without news of the temptation of reason , it wine keepeth *** That one , who planted not his foot outside the door of piety ,

Now since all are engaged in wine - drinking with the intention of visiting the wine - house , desire for travel , hath . *** To the dust of the grave Hafiz's shattered heart will take with itself

The stain of desire of love for the true Beloved that , like the streaked tulip , on the liver , it hath . ***
