The ghazal

On account of the new moon of the 'id on the eye - brow of the 'fd , the world drew indigo applied kuhl

On in the curved eye - brow of the beloved , the new crescent moon it is proper to see . *** Like the round back of the new moon , my stature became broken

Like indigo , my beloved again drew the bow of the eye - brow . *** O Beloved cover not thy face and of the people's gaze , be not distressed

For , on thy face , thy soft hair chaunted and breathed va in yakad . *** Perchance , at morn , in the sward , the breeze swept over thy body ,

Since , with thy perfume , the garment on its body the rose rent like the morning rent from night *** The harp was not , nor the stringed instrument , nor the rose , nor wine

For , stained with grape - wine and date - wine , was the rose of my existence . *** Come so that , to thee , I may utter the grief and the distress of my heart

For , without thee , power of speaking , or of hearing , I have none . *** Even if life be the price of union with thee , the purchaser I am

For the good thing union at whatever price he saw , the penetrating one purchased . *** Spill not the water of my tears . For , without thee , far from thee , the state of my face is this

Like the wind swiftly it the tear went ; and , into the dust of the Path , fell . *** When the resplendent moon of thy face in the dark evening of thy tress , I beheld ,

Luminous like the day , became my dark evening by thy resplendent face . *** Ready to depart my soul reached the lip and yet desire was not accomplished

To an end , reached my hope to aji end fulfilment reached not my desire . *** O sphere expect naught from time's convulsion

As , on the world's face , the morning the sky in this way laughed so it will laugh *** On account of thy tress , my heart was distraught . I know

That , before thy face , on itself like the flashing lightning , it flashed . *** Some words , through desire of thy face , Hafiz wrote .

In his verse , read the pearls and . like pearls , put the verse in thy ear . ***
