One of Hafez’s Molamma’\u0101t (mixed Persian and Arabic) ghazals illustrates not only the unique transformation of Arabic prosody in Persian poetry, but also Hafez’s unique gift for copying, transforming, and improving the verses from previous ghazals (in this case a ghazal by the seminal master of the ghazal, San\u0101’\u012b):<\/p>\n

Translation:<\/p>\n

Last night a letter arrived unexpectedly from my beloved.<\/h6>\n
She said: “My heart has seen the pangs of the resurrection in being
\nparted from you.”
\nI said: “Does your loving heart have some sign of suffering?”<\/h6>\n
She said: “Are not the tears in my eye enough of a sign for
\nyou?”
\nShe said: “What are you planning?” I said: “A journey.”<\/h6>\n
She said: “Go in health, happiness and safety?”
\nI said: “You are not trustworthy.” She said: “Test me!”<\/h6>\n
[I replied:] ” Whoever tests an experienced person will surely regret it.”
\nI said: “Farewell! You shall not come and conquer my breast.”<\/h6>\n
She said: “So you want union with me in secret? No, by grace!”
\nShe said: “Take hold of my tresses!” I said: “Scandal will come”<\/h6>\n
\u00a0She said: “Do you really not know about love and scandal?”<\/h6>\n

From my heart’s grief I wrote a letter to my beloved.<\/h6>\n
For an age, from your absence, I have witnessed the resurrection<\/em><\/h6>\n
I have a hundred signs of separation in my eye<\/h6>\n
Are not the tears of these eyes of mine for us a sign?<\/em><\/h6>\n
However much I tried, she did not help me<\/h6>\n
Whoever tries the experienced will regret it<\/em><\/h6>\n
I asked a doctor about the state of my beloved. He said:<\/h6>\n
Suffering is in nearness to her, health is in distance from her.<\/em>
\nI said: Will scandal come if I wander about your alley?.<\/h6>\n
By God! We have never seen a love without scandal.<\/em>
\nHafiz has come like one seeking a cup even at the price of his sweet soul,<\/h6>\n
that he might taste from it, a goblet of grace.<\/em><\/h6>\n
