The ghazal

Took away my serenity, patience and sense

My heavy hearted, fair faced, divine essence.

How lovely, nimble, handsome and majestic

Delicate, beautiful, and gowned with elegance.

From the heat of the fire of that love

Like a boiling pot, express my effervescence.

Like a shirt in comfort, hanging loose

If worn by beloved, and embraced tight and dense.

Even when my bones decompose and rot

My soul will hold that love in reverence.

My heart and soul put my heart and soul in suspense

Your beauty, your beauty, my only reference.

Your cure is your cure, Hafiz, your defense

Those sweet lips, those sweet lips, my sentence.
