Fal Hafez

Poem Number 141

O friends, repented from drunk...

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

The ghazal

O friends, repented from drunkenness, daughter of vine

Began enforcing the law, became a preacher of divine.

From beyond entered our midst, let her now rest

And protests of others for separation decline.

Bring good news O heart, for the musician of love

Played in drunkenness, and found a cure for this wine.

Neither wash away its color, nor with a hundred fires burn

The stain of that wine which is the mystic’s gown’s design.

The flower of union with the breath of life bloomed

And the singing bird of joy, to the petal sang a joyous line.

In the face of jealousy, with humbleness yourself refine

Honor and wealth, desire, creed, with pride your head align.
