Good news: the east wind has returned

مژده ای دل که دگر باد صبا بازآمد

Good news, O heart: the east wind has come back again;

هدهد خوش خبر از طرف سبا بازآمد

the hoopoe of glad tidings has returned from Sheba.

برکش ای مرغ سحر نغمه داوودی باز

Raise once more, bird of dawn, your song of David,

که سلیمان گل از باد هوا بازآمد

for Solomon the rose has come back upon the wind.

عارفی کو که کند فهم زبان سوسن

Where is a knower who understands the lily's tongue,

تا بپرسد که چرا رفت و چرا بازآمد

to ask why it went away and why it has returned?

مردمی کرد و کرم لطف خداداد به من

God-given grace has shown me kindness and favour,

کان بت ماه رخ از راه وفا بازآمد

for that moon-faced idol has come back by the road of faithfulness.

لاله بوی می نوشین بشنید از دم صبح

The tulip caught the scent of sweet wine from the breath of dawn;

داغ دل بود به امید دوا بازآمد

it bore a brand upon its heart, and came back hoping for a cure.

چشم من در ره این قافله راه بماند

My eyes were left waiting on the road of this caravan

تا به گوش دلم آواز درا بازآمد

until the camel-bell's sound came back to the ear of my heart.

گر چه حافظ در رنجش زد و پیمان بشکست

Though Hafez knocked at the door of grievance and broke his vow,

لطف او بین که به لطف از در ما بازآمد

see the beloved's grace: in kindness, came back through our door.
