What intoxication is this

چه مستی است ندانم که رو به ما آورد

What intoxication is this that has come our way, I do not know;

که بود ساقی و این باده از کجا آورد

who was the saqi, and where did he bring this wine from?

چه راه می‌زند این مطرب مقام شناس

What mode is this minstrel playing, who knows every station,

که در میان غزل قول آشنا آورد

that in the middle of the ghazal he brings in a familiar song?

تو نیز باده به چنگ آر و راه صحرا گیر

You too, take wine in hand and set out for the open country,

که مرغ نغمه‌سرا ساز خوش‌نوا آورد

for the singing bird has brought a sweet-toned instrument.

دلا چو غنچه شکایت ز کار بسته مکن

O heart, do not complain, like the bud, of a closed-up affair,

که باد صبح، نسیم گره‌گشا آورد

for the morning wind has brought the knot-untying breeze.

رسیدن گل نسرین به خیر و خوبی باد

May the coming of the eglantine bring goodness and blessing;

بنفشه شاد و کش آمد، سمن صفا آورد

the violet is glad and has come happily; the jasmine has brought purity.

صبا به خوش‌خبری هدهد سلیمان است

In bringing good news, the east wind is Solomon's hoopoe,

که مژده طرب از گلشن سبا آورد

which brought tidings of joy from the rose garden of Sheba.

علاج ضعف دل ما کرشمه ساقیست

The cure for our heart's weakness is the saqi's coquetry;

برآر سر که طبیب آمد و دوا آورد

lift your head, for the physician has come and brought the remedy.

مرید پیر مغانم ز من مرنج ای شیخ

I am the disciple of the Magian elder; do not be hurt with me, sheikh,

چرا که وعده تو کردی و او به جا آورد

for you made the promise, and he kept it.

به تنگ‌چشمی آن ترک لشکری نازم

I delight in the narrow eyes of that Turkish soldier,

که حمله بر من درویش یک قبا آورد

who launched his attack on me, a dervish with a single robe.

فلک غلامی حافظ کنون به طوع کند

Now heaven willingly serves Hafez,

که التجا به در دولت شما آورد

since he has taken refuge at the door of your fortune.
