In my prayer, your eyebrow

در نمازم خم ابروی تو با یاد آمد

In my prayer the curve of your eyebrow came to mind;

حالتی رفت که محراب به فریاد آمد

such a state came over me that the prayer-niche cried out.

از من اکنون طمع صبر و دل و هوش مدار

Do not look to me now for patience, heart or reason,

کان تحمل که تو دیدی همه بر باد آمد

for all the endurance you once saw has gone to the wind.

باده صافی شد و مرغان چمن مست شدند

The wine has cleared and the birds of the meadow are drunk;

موسم عاشقی و کار به بنیاد آمد

it is the season of love, and the work is set on its foundation.

بوی بهبود ز اوضاع جهان می‌شنوم

I catch the scent of better days in the state of the world;

شادی آورد گل و باد صبا شاد آمد

the rose has brought joy, and the morning breeze has come glad.

ای عروس هنر از بخت شکایت منما

O bride of art, do not complain of fortune;

حجله حسن بیارای که داماد آمد

adorn the bridal chamber of beauty, for the groom has come.

دلفریبان نباتی همه زیور بستند

The flower beauties have all put on their ornaments;

دلبر ماست که با حسن خداداد آمد

it is our beloved who has come with God-given beauty.

زیر بارند درختان که تعلق دارند

The trees that cling to things are bowed beneath their load;

ای خوشا سرو که از بار غم آزاد آمد

how happy the cypress, that has come free of the burden of grief.

مطرب از گفته حافظ غزلی نغز بخوان

Minstrel, sing a fine ghazal from the words of Hafez,

تا بگویم که ز عهد طربم یاد آمد

so I may say the time of joy has come back to my mind.
