The ghazal

Keep to your own affairs, why do you fault me?

My heart has fallen in love, what has befallen thee?

In the center of he, whom God made from nothing

There is a subtle point that no creature can see.

Until His lips fulfill my lips like a reed

From all the worldly advice I must flee.

The beggar of your home, of the eight heavens has no need

The prisoner of your love, from both worlds is thus free.

Though my drunkenness has brought forth my ruin

My essence is flourished by paying that ruinous fee.

O heart for the pain and injustice of love do not plead

For this is your lot from the justice of eternity.

Hafiz don’t help magic and fantasy further breed

The world is filled with such, from sea to sea.
