Hafez · Ghazal 445 · You who have all you wish
تو را که هر چه مراد است در جهان داریچه غم ز حال ضعیفان ناتوان داری؟
بخواه جان و دل از بنده و روان بستانکه حکم بر سر آزادگان روان داری
میان نداری و دارم عجب که هر ساعتمیان مجمع خوبان کنی میان‌داری
بیاض روی تو را، نیست نقش درخور از آنکسوادی از خط مشکین بر ارغوان داری
بنوش می که سبک‌روحی و لطیف مدامعلی الخصوص در آن دم که سر گران داری
مکن عتاب از این بیش و جور بر دل مامکن هر آن چه توانی که جای آن داری
به اختیارت اگر صد هزار تیر جفاستبه قصد جان من خسته در کمان داری
بکش جفای رقیبان مدام و جور حسودکه سهل باشد اگر یار مهربان داری
به وصل دوست گرت دست می‌دهد یک دمبرو که هر چه مراد است در جهان داری
چو گل به دامن از این باغ می‌بری حافظچه غم ز ناله و فریاد باغبان داری؟
If you have even one kind friend, Hafez says, the hostility and envy of others become easy to bear. And if you are granted a single true moment with what you love, you already have all you could wish for. Do not let other people's complaints spoil the roses you are carrying home from the garden. Be gentle with those who are weaker, as you would wish to be treated, and value the good that is already in your hands.
You who have everything you could wish for in the world,
what care have you for the state of the weak and helpless?
Ask your servant for heart and soul, and take my life,
for your command runs over the heads of the free.
You have no waist, and I wonder that every hour
you take the centre of the gathering of the fair.
No design is worthy of the white page of your face,
since you have black script of musky down on the Judas flower.
Drink wine, for you are always light-spirited and gentle,
especially in those moments when your head is heavy.
Reproach no more, and wrong our heart no more;
do not do all that you can, though you have every right.
If you choose, you have a hundred thousand arrows of cruelty
in your bow, aimed at my wounded life.
Always bear the rivals' cruelty and the envious one's wrong,
for that is easy, if you have a kind friend.
If union with the Friend is granted you for even a moment,
go, for you have everything you could wish for in the world.
Hafez, since you are carrying roses in your skirt from this garden,
why worry about the gardener's cries and protest?
