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

The ghazal

I have something to say my dear, hear my word

While your jug is full, offer a drink and be a lord

On the path of Love, Devil tempts you a lot

Come, let your heart and soul be in accord.

The song was spoiled, and the string was no more

Tambourine shout out aloud, O harp, cry with your cord.

The rosary and gown will not bring you joy

Only the wine-seller, such bargains can afford.

The wise speak from experience, as I said

You too, my son, by age will be floored.

Love did not put its chains upon the mind

Those who sought lovers, intelligence abhorred

Share with your friends your worldly goods and time

Mark my word, for friends put your life at the sword.

O wine-bearer, may your cup always be full

With your grace, bring drunken me aboard.

Joyous, in golden garments, pass us by

Cast a glance at Hafiz in rags, a kiss, a word.
