No one has seen your face, and yet<\/h6>\n
Thousands of rivals seek you;<\/h6>\n
You’re still a bud and yet a hundred<\/h6>\n
Nightingales entreat you.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

However far I am from you<\/h6>\n
(May no one know that place!)<\/h6>\n
I cannot help but hope that soon<\/h6>\n
I’ll be in your embrace;<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it’s not strange that I should choose<\/h6>\n
Your street in which to wait –<\/h6>\n
Thousands of strangers in this world<\/h6>\n
Are in the selfsame state<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

The loved one doesn’t spare a glance-<\/h6>\n
The lover must endure it;<\/h6>\n
And there’s no pain, or if there is<\/h6>\n
The doctor’s here to cure it.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

In love, the Sufi meeting house<\/h6>\n
And wine-shop are one place;<\/h6>\n
As are all places where we find<\/h6>\n
The loved one’s radiant face;<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

And what the Sufis make a show of<\/h6>\n
Can be found equally<\/h6>\n
Among the monks, before their cross<\/h6>\n
Within a monastery.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hafez’s cry is not mere nonsense<\/h6>\n
When all is said and done;<\/h6>\n
Though it’s a strangely curious tale,<\/h6>\n
And a perplexing one.<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

At dawn, upon the breeze, I caught<\/h6>\n
the scent of my beloved’s hair<\/h6>\n
And once again my crazy heart<\/h6>\n
was laboring in its old despair<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Out of the garden of my breast<\/h6>\n
I’ve torn her sapling silhouette<\/h6>\n
Since when my longings for her blossom,<\/h6>\n
grief is the bitter fruit they set.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fearing the torment of her love,<\/h6>\n
I freed my heart from her; but when<\/h6>\n
My heart dripped blood, the path its drops<\/h6>\n
marked out…led back to her again<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

I saw the full moon rise above<\/h6>\n
his castle’s roof, splendid and bright;<\/h6>\n
But when her shining sun arose<\/h6>\n
the moon, for shame, concealed its light.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

I took musicians at their word<\/h6>\n
and always, everywhere, I sought<\/h6>\n
For messengers who’d traveled love’s<\/h6>\n
hard road, and all the news they brought.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

My lover’s way from end to end,<\/h6>\n
is good and kind, and little cares<\/h6>\n
Whether a man tells Muslim beads<\/h6>\n
or murmurs Christian prayers.<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

May God forgive her eyebrow’s curve<\/h6>\n
That’s made me weak and powerless,<\/h6>\n
Since it can comfort, with a glance<\/h6>\n
A sick man’s feverish distress<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was amazed to see Hafez<\/h6>\n
drink wine last night; but then I knew<\/h6>\n
Better than to object to this-<\/h6>\n
he drank as secret Sufis do.<\/h6>\n
