You who are proud of yourself
Hafezحافظ
ای که دایم به خویش مغروری
O you who are always proud of yourself,
گر تو را عشق نیست معذوری
if you have no love, you are excused.
گرد دیوانگان عشق مگرد
Do not go near the madmen of love,
که به عقل عقیله مشهوری
for you are famous for your excellent reason.
مستی عشق نیست در سر تو
There is no drunkenness of love in your head;
رو که تو مست آب انگوری
go, you are only drunk on the water of the grape.
روی زرد است و آه دردآلود
A pale face and a sigh full of pain:
عاشقان را دوای رنجوری
these are the lovers' cure for their sickness.
بگذر از نام و ننگ خود حافظ
Hafez, let go of your name and your shame;
ساغر می طلب که مخموری
ask for a cup of wine, for you are hung over.

ابتدای کار سیمرغ ای عجب
جلوهگر بگذشت بر چین نیمشب
The beginning of the Simorgh’s story, how wonderful:
in all his splendour he passed over China at midnight.
