Hafez · Ghazal 147 · The day of sorrow is ending
برید باد صبا دوشم آگهی آوردکه روز محنت و غم رو به کوتهی آورد
به مطربان صبوحی دهیم جامه چاکبدین نوید که باد سحرگهی آورد
بیا بیا که تو حور بهشت را رضواندر این جهان ز برای دل رهی آورد
همی‌رویم به شیراز با عنایت دوستزهی رفیق که بختم به همرهی آورد
به جبر خاطر ما کوش کـ‌این کلاه نمدبسا شکست که با افسر شهی آورد
چه ناله‌ها که رسید از دلم به خرمن ماهچو یاد عارض آن ماه خرگهی آورد
رساند رایت منصور بر فلک حافظکه التجا به جناب شهنشهی آورد
The breeze carries the message you may have been waiting for: the days of hardship are turning towards their end. Hafez receives it with joy, ready to give his robe to the musicians. He speaks of going home to Shiraz in good company, and of how a humble felt cap can outlast a crown. Do not underrate the power of the modest and sincere, and tend the hearts around you. Take shelter in what is truly greater than you, and your banner will rise.
Last night the courier of the east wind brought me word
that the day of hardship and sorrow has turned towards its end.
To the minstrels of the morning draught we will give our torn robes
for this good news the dawn wind has brought.
Come, come, for you are the houri of paradise whom Rizvan
has brought into this world for your servant's heart.
We are going to Shiraz with the Friend's favour;
what a companion my fortune has brought along with me!
Strive to mend our hearts, for this felt cap
has often brought ruin to the royal crown.
What laments rose from my heart to the moon's halo
when it brought back the memory of that moon in the tent.
Hafez raised the victorious banner to the sky
once he took refuge at the court of the king of kings.
