The ghazal

From the tablet of my heart and soul , Thy image , ever goeth not

From my recollection , that proudly moving cypress ever goeth not . *** O true Beloved from my distraught brain , the image of Thy cheek ,

By the sky's violence and time's wrath , goeth not . *** In eternity without beginning , covenant with Thy tress - tip , my heart established

Till eternity without end , it draweth not forth its head and , from the head of the covenant , goeth not . *** Save the load of grief for Thee , whatever is in my wretched heart ,

Goeth from my heart ; but from my heart that grief's load goeth not . *** In my heart and soul , my love for Thee hath taken a place , such

That even if my head life goeth , from my soul , my love for Thee goeth not , *** If for the pursuit of lovely ones , my heart goeth , 'tis excusable

It hath love's pain . What may it do if , for remedy - sake , it goeth not *** Whoever head - bewildered like Hafiz , wisheth not to become

Giveth not his heart to lovely ones and , in pursuit of them , goeth not . ***
