Everything about you is lovely
Hafezحافظ
ای همه شکل تو مطبوع و همه جای تو خوش
O you whose every form is pleasing and every place you are is sweet,
دلم از عشوه شیرین شکرخای تو خوش
my heart delights in your sweet, sugar-chewing coquetry.
همچو گلبرگ طری هست وجود تو لطیف
Your being is as delicate as a fresh rose petal;
همچو سرو چمن خلد سراپای تو خوش
like the cypress in the meadow of paradise, you are lovely from head to foot.
شیوه و ناز تو شیرین، خط و خال تو ملیح
Your ways and airs are sweet, your down and mole are charming;
چشم و ابروی تو زیبا، قد و بالای تو خوش
your eyes and brows are beautiful, your stature and height are lovely.
هم گلستان خیالم ز تو پر نقش و نگار
The rose garden of my imagination is full of your images,
هم مشام دلم از زلف سمن سای تو خوش
and the senses of my heart are glad with your jasmine-scented curl.
در ره عشق که از سیل بلا نیست گذار
On the road of love, where there is no way past the flood of trials,
کردهام خاطر خود را به تمنای تو خوش
I have made my heart content with longing for you.
شکر چشم تو چه گویم؟ که بدان بیماری
How can I thank your eye, which with that languor
میکند درد مرا از رخ زیبای تو خوش
makes my pain well again through your lovely face?
در بیابان طلب گر چه ز هر سو خطریست
Though in the desert of seeking there is danger on every side,
میرود حافظ بیدل به تولای تو خوش
heartless Hafez walks on happily in his devotion to you.

in all his splendour he passed over China at midnight.
