The ghazal
O thou whose pistachio mouth laugheth at the tale of candy
Of thy laughter I am desirous . For God's sake , one sweet smile smile . *** Where my resplendent beloved , with sweet smile , breatheth ,
O pistachio who art thou For God's sake , to thyself , laugh not for there , no splendour is thine *** Equality with thy stature , even the lofty Tuba tree of paradise cannot boast
By this tale , I pass . For long , becometh the matter . *** If sullenness thou display or if reproach , thou make ,
The allied friend of the man , self - approving , we are not . *** Of the perturbation of my state , acquainted how becometh
That one , whose heart captive to this noose became not *** Thou wishest not that a river of blood should gush from thy eye
On the constancy of society of rosy ones , bind not thy heart . *** Brisk is the market of desire . Where is that candle - face the beloved
So that , on the ruddy fire of his face , soul and heart , I may make rue may scatter *** Hafiz the glance with eye - brow and with eye of the saucy ones , thou abandonest not
Knowest thou where thy place is Khwarazm , or Khujand ***
