Last night the wind brought news

دوش آگهی ز یار سفر کرده داد باد

Last night the wind brought news of the beloved who had travelled;

من نیز دل به باد دهم، هر چه باد باد

I too will give my heart to the wind: whatever will be, will be.

کارم بدان رسید که همراز خود کنم

It has come to this: I make my confidants

هر شام برق لامع و هر بامداد باد

the flashing lightning every evening and the wind every morning.

در چین طره تو دل بی حفاظ من

Caught in the twist of your tress, my unguarded heart

هرگز نگفت مسکن مألوف یاد باد

never once said, "May my old home be remembered."

امروز قدر پند عزیزان شناختم

Today I have learned the worth of the counsel of dear ones:

یا رب روان ناصح ما از تو شاد باد

O Lord, may the soul of our adviser be gladdened by you.

خون شد دلم به یاد تو هر گه که در چمن

My heart turned to blood in memory of you whenever, in the meadow,

بند قبای غنچه گل می‌گشاد باد

the wind undid the fastening of the rosebud's coat.

از دست رفته بود وجود ضعیف من

My frail being had slipped from my grasp;

صبحم به بوی وصل تو جان باز داد، باد

at dawn, with the scent of union with you, the wind gave me back my life.

حافظ نهاد نیک تو کامت بر آورد

Hafez, your good nature will bring you your wish:

جان‌ها فدای مردم نیکو نهاد باد

may souls be offered for people of good nature.
