The ghazal

The skirt - trailer damsel kept moving in cloth , gold - embroidered ,

In envy of her , a hundred moon - of - face , the collar of hempen cloth rent *** From the heat of the fire of wine , round about her cheek , sweat ,

Like drops of night - dew on the rose - leaf dropped . *** A pronunciation , eloquent and sweet a stature , tall and beautiful

A face , gracious and heart - alluring ; the eye in a bow sweetly drawn . *** Her soul refreshing ruby lip of the water of grace born

The boxtree stature sweetly moving , in daintiness cherished . *** That heart - alluring ruby lip of hers , behold and that laughter full of ripple

That sweet moving of hers , behold and that gait reposed . *** Forth from our snare , that mistress , dark of eye , hath gone

Friends what remedy may I make with this heart affrighted *** Take care so far as thou canst , injure not people of vision

No fidelity , hath the world . O light of both eyes *** On account of that heart - fascinating eye , reproach how long shall I endure

One day , glance , O friend well chosen *** On account of the Khwaja's service , many the thanks that I shall utter ,

If to my hand fall that fruit matured . *** Every evil that , in respect of us , the enemy uttered thou heardest

O Lord the adversary's tongue be severed *** If , on account of Hafiz thy noble heart be grieved ,

Come back . For , repentance , we have made of that uttered and heard . ***
