Hafez · Ghazal 363 · My pain comes from the friend
دردم از یار است و درمان نیز همدل فدای او شد و جان نیز هم
این که می‌گویند آن خوشتر ز حسنیار ما این دارد و آن نیز هم
یاد باد آن کاو به قصد خون ماعهد را بشکست و پیمان نیز هم
دوستان در پرده می‌گویم سخنگفته خواهد شد به دستان نیز هم
چون سر آمد دولت شب‌های وصلبگذرد ایام هجران نیز هم
هر دو عالم یک فروغ روی اوستگفتمت پیدا و پنهان نیز هم
اعتمادی نیست بر کار جهانبلکه بر گردون گردان نیز هم
عاشق از قاضی نترسد می بیاربلکه از یرغوی دیوان نیز هم
محتسب داند که حافظ عاشق استو آصف ملک سلیمان نیز هم
The very source of your pain may also hold its cure; Hafez says both come from the beloved. If you are in a season of separation or difficulty, take comfort in his plain reasoning: the nights of union came to an end, so the days of parting will end as well. Nothing in the world stays fixed, and that is a mercy as much as a loss. Do not be ruled by the fear of being judged. Love openly and honestly, and trust that what has turned once will turn again.
My pain comes from the friend, and the cure as well;
the heart was given for him, and the soul as well.
That 'something' which they say is finer than beauty,
our friend has this, and has that as well.
Remember the one who, set on shedding our blood,
broke the promise, and the covenant as well.
Friends, I speak behind a veil;
it will be told in songs and stories as well.
Since the fortune of the nights of union came to an end,
the days of separation will pass as well.
Both worlds are a single gleam of his face;
I have told you: the seen and the hidden as well.
There is no trusting the work of the world,
nor, for that matter, the turning sky as well.
The lover does not fear the judge; bring wine,
nor, for that matter, the court's tribunal as well.
The morals officer knows that Hafez is a lover,
and the Asaf of Solomon's realm as well.
