Hafiz

حافظ

[ Up ] [ Next ]

The radiance of your goodness manifested in eternity
Love appeared and set fire to the mountain, earth and sea
Your face radiated, and still saw angels were loveless
Setting this fire on man, was then your zealous decree
Mind wanted to turn this fire to its own guiding light
You set the world in chaos with your ardent, radiant glee
False seeker sought to witness the secrets of the world
Hidden hand came and kept away his undeserving plea
To others fate brought a lot, filled with pleasure and joy
My sad heart's lot was to be saddened on its knee
My sublime soul was longing for a glimpse of your face
My hand running through the locks of your hair lovingly
Hafiz wrote his love poems only on the day that he
Let the pen write from the heart that is joyous and free.

در ازل پرتو حسنـت ز تـجـلی دم زد
عشـق پیدا شد و آتش به همه عالم زد
جلوه‌ای کرد رخت دید ملک عشق نداشت
عین آتـش شد از این غیرت و بر آدم زد
عقل می‌خواست کز آن شعله چراغ افروزد
برق غیرت بدرخشید و جـهان برهـم زد
مدعی خواست که آید به تماشاگـه راز
دسـت غیب آمد و بر سینه نامـحرم زد
دیگران قرعه قسمت همـه بر عیش زدند
دل غـمدیده ما بود که هـم بر غـم زد
جان علوی هوس چاه زنخدان تو داشـت
دسـت در حلقه آن زلف خم اندر خم زد
حافـظ آن روز طربنامه عشق تو نوشـت
کـه قـلـم بر سر اسـباب دل خرم زد
