Hafez · Ghazal 157 · Come out from behind the veil
هر که را با خط سبزت سر سودا باشدپای از این دایره بیرون ننهد تا باشد
من چو از خاک لحد لاله‌صفت برخیزمداغ سودای توام سر سویدا باشد
تو خود ای گوهر یک‌دانه کجایی آخرکز غمت دیده مردم همه دریا باشد
از بن هر مژه‌ام آب روان است بیااگرت میل لب جوی و تماشا باشد
چون گل و می دمی از پرده برون آی و درآکه دگرباره ملاقات نه پیدا باشد
ظل ممدود خم زلف توام بر سر بادکاندر این سایه قرار دل شیدا باشد
چشمت از ناز به حافظ نکند میل آریسرگرانی صفت نرگس رعنا باشد
"Come out for a moment, like the rose and the wine," Hafez says, "for there may not be another meeting." If there is someone you have been meaning to see, or a feeling you have kept behind a veil, the verse gently urges you not to wait. Love that runs this deep does not leave its circle; it marks the heart for good. Seek the shade where your restless heart finds rest, and do not take another's pride too much to heart.
Whoever has a passion for your fresh green down
will not step outside this circle as long as he lives.
When I rise from the dust of the grave like the tulip,
the brand of longing for you will be the dark core of my heart.
Where are you, after all, O peerless pearl,
that from grief for you the eyes of everyone are a sea?
Water runs from the root of every lash of mine; come,
if you have a fancy for a stream's edge and a pleasant view.
Like the rose and wine, come out from behind the veil for a moment and come in,
for there may not be another meeting.
May the long shade of your curl's curve be over my head,
for in this shade the frenzied heart finds rest.
Your eye, from pride, does not incline towards Hafez; yes,
haughtiness is the way of the lovely narcissus.
