O holy beauty, who lifts your veil?

ای شاهد قدسی، که کشد بند نقابت؟

O holy beauty, who draws the cord of your veil?

وی مرغ بهشتی، که دهد دانه و آبت؟

O bird of paradise, who gives you seed and water?

خوابم بشد از دیده در این فکر جگرسوز

Sleep has left my eyes in this heart-burning thought:

کآغوش که شد منزل آسایش و خوابت؟

whose embrace has become the home of your rest and sleep?

درویش نمی‌پرسی و ترسم که نباشد

You do not ask after the dervish, and I fear you have

اندیشه آمرزش و پروای ثوابت

no thought of forgiveness, no care for a good deed's reward.

راه دل عشاق زد آن چشم خماری

That languid eye has waylaid the hearts of lovers;

پیداست از این شیوه که مست است شرابت

it is plain from this manner that your wine is strong.

تیری که زدی بر دلم از غمزه خطا رفت

The arrow your glance shot at my heart went astray;

تا باز چه اندیشه کند رأی صوابت

let us see what your sound judgment will think of next.

هر ناله و فریاد که کردم نشنیدی

Every cry and lament I made, you did not hear;

پیداست نگارا که بلند است جنابت

it is plain, my lovely one, how high your station is.

دور است سر آب از این بادیه، هشدار

The spring of water is far from this desert; take care

تا غول بیابان نفریبد به سرابت

that the demon of the waste does not deceive you with a mirage.

تا در ره پیری به چه آیین روی ای دل

Let us see by what custom you will walk the road of age, O heart;

باری به غلط صرف شد ایام شبابت

at any rate, the days of your youth were spent in error.

ای قصر دل‌افروز که منزلگه انسی

O heart-brightening palace, dwelling of intimacy,

یا رب مکناد آفت ایام، خرابت

O Lord, may the blight of the days never lay you in ruin.

حافظ نه غلامیست که از خواجه گریزد

Hafez is no slave who runs from his master;

صلحی کن و بازآ که خرابم ز عتابت

make peace and come back, for I am ruined by your reproach.
