From the Divan of Hafez · 7 couplets
...
Last night the wind brought news of my traveled beloved —
I too will give my heart to the wind, whatever may come.
My state has come to this: I make my confidant
each evening's flashing lightning, and each morning's wind.
In the curls of your tresses my unguarded heart
never once said: Let the familiar dwelling be remembered.
Today I recognized the worth of wise counsel —
O Lord, may our advisor's soul be gladdened by You.
My heart turned to blood in your memory each time
the wind in the garden opened the bud of the rose's robe.
My frail existence had nearly slipped from my hand —
at dawn, the wind revived my soul with the scent of your union.
Hafez, your good nature will fulfill your desire —
may lives be sacrificed for people of good nature.
دوش آگهی ز یارِ سفر کرده داد باد
من نیز دل به باد دهم، هر چه باد باد
کارم بدان رسید که همرازِ خود کنم
هر شام برق لامِع و هر بامداد باد
در چینِ طرهٔ تو دل بی حِفاظِ من
هرگز نگفت مسکنِ مألوف یاد باد
امروز قدرِ پندِ عزیزان شناختم
یا رب روانِ ناصحِ ما از تو شاد باد
خون شد دلم به یادِ تو هر گَه که در چمن
بندِ قبایِ غنچهٔ گل میگشاد باد
از دست رفته بود وجودِ ضعیفِ من
صبحم به بویِ وصلِ تو جان باز داد، باد
حافظ نهادِ نیکِ تو کامت بر آورد
جانها فدایِ مردمِ نیکو نهاد باد
