Poem Number 237

One more breath, my fate is at...

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

The ghazal

One more breath, my fate is at stake

Alas, my good fortune does not wake.

Morning breeze blew Her dust in my eye

I cannot see from the tears and the ache.

I cannot embrace and hug your body, why?

My most ardent wishes I must break.

Only with the Beloved, I can be & can try

No other labor can I undertake.

Only from your hair some good news I can pry

Else, from strangers, there's no news I can take.

Ardently, sincerely, a thousand prayers I let fly

What use, not even one in my world I can make.

Enough sharing my heart with the morning breeze's sigh

With my luck tonight, not even the dawn will break.

I spend my whole life in pursuit till I die

Yet misfortunes of your hair I cannot shake.

Hafiz & his heart, everyone must forsake

Has hidden himself within your wave & wake.
