The ghazal

The great curve that , into the bow of thy eye - brow thy bold eyebrow cast ,

In design of the blood of me , miserable , powerless , it cast . *** Wine drunk , sweat expressed I know not when thou wentestto the sward and broughtest it to this state

But , I see that fire into the raddy Aighavan , thy sweat cast . *** With one glance , in boasting , that the Narcissus made

A hundred calamities into the world , thy eye's deceit cast . *** Through shame of that one who likened it the lily to thy face ,

Dust into her own mouth , by the hand of the wind , the lily cast . *** Last night , intoxicated , I passed by the banquet - place of the sward

When , into the idea of likeness to thy mouth , me , the rose - bud cast . *** The violet fastened up arranged her lovely twisted tresses

Before the assembly , the tale of Thy still more lovely tress , the wind cast . *** Through having chosen austerity , I should never have seen the wine cup or the minstrel . What shall I do

Me into this and into that , desire for young Magians - cast . *** Now , with water of ruby wine , I lave my religious garment

From one's self , the lot of the ruby wine of eternity without beginning one can not cast . *** Not the picture of existence of tne two worius was , wben \vs f he colour of love

Not at this time , Love's foundation , did Time cast . *** The disastrous outcome of the line of beard of Thy face , I am , God Most High

This heart - ravishing picture , what reed was it that^ cast *** Now , the world becometh to my desire . For time's revolution

Me , into the service of the Khwaja of the world , cast . *** Perchance in this disastrous state , was the opening of the work of Hafiz ,

Whom , into the wine of Magians consuming with the fire of divine love the destiny of eternity without beginning cast . ***
