Poverty is more pleasant than majesty;<\/h6>\n

Majesty has its headaches, and when last I looked<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 beggary was more pleasant.<\/h6>\n
Since kings let no one approach them,<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 being indigent among the poor is more pleasant<\/h6>\n
When pride gets into someone’s head,<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 being pals with a dog from the streets is more pleasant<\/h6>\n
When the heart breaks with melancholy over some beauty<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 that breaking is more pleasant than any salve<\/h6>\n
Public love play with idols is more pleasant<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 than all this devout hypocrisy<\/h6>\n
Once won, there’s no pleasure in love<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Separation, for those who play this game, is more pleasant.<\/h6>\n
Put your base love out of your mind, Khusrau<\/h6>\n
Love for the sacred secret is more pleasant<\/h6>\n

Translation:<\/p>\n

My life is over and I did not turn to the Lord<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I did not seek out those moments of rapture, and now the chance has slipped<\/h6>\n
How can my heart wash away its filthy corruption?<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Unlike my tears, my ablutions failed to flood me with regret<\/h6>\n
My tears did not wash away my black disgrace<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 My face did not shine bright in the ranks of true men<\/h6>\n
What do I know of the path of those lion-hearted nocturnal wanderers<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 When I haven’t spent a night or two even roaming the alleys with dogs?<\/h6>\n
Never a ball nestled in the crook of love’s polo stick,<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 my head could not be struck by the ecstasy of my Sultan’s presence<\/h6>\n
My rheumy nose could not pick up\u00a0the smell of musk<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 too congested to catch the perfume of creation.<\/h6>\n
They advise me to give up my bad habits, but how can I do so now<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 when I haven’t made a habit of it from the first?<\/h6>\n
I threw away my whole life on lies:<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I never bowed down sincerely before the Lord.<\/h6>\n
Poetry became my plague, alas that Khusrau never said, “Silence”<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 and I never stopped talking.<\/h6>\n

Compare with Hafez’s ghazal:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Translation:<\/p>\n

Last night a wise, keen-minded one whispered to me,<\/h6>\n
“The wine-seller’s secret should not be hidden from you.”<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

He said, “Take it easy, for by its nature,<\/h6>\n
the world is hard on those who try hard.”<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then he gave me a cup and in its light, across the heavens<\/h6>\n
Venus began to dance, and played her lute, and cried, “Drink!”<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

While your heart bleeds, let your lips smile like the cup.<\/h6>\n
Don’t, if you are stuck, break into a roar like the harp<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Until you are an initiate you will not hear a secret in this music.<\/h6>\n
The outsider’s ear is no place for the angel’s message.<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Listen to my advice, O son, and don’t worry about the world.<\/h6>\n
I told a pearl-like \u1e25ad\u012bth if you can hear it<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

In love’s sanctuary there is no murmur of debate<\/h6>\n
because all your limbs must be eye and ear.<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the shop of those who understand subtlety,<\/h6>\n
hawking oneself is not allowed. Speak knowingly, o wise one, or be quiet<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

O S\u0101q\u012b, give us wine, because A\u1e63af of auspicious birth,<\/h6>\n
forgiver of sins and overlooker of faults, understands what Hafez really means<\/h6>\n
