Ghazal 107 by Hafiz/love poem


Leila-Sir Frank Dicksee painting

Ghazal 107
Hafiz

May your goodness always increase
And your smiling face never cease
In our head the thought of your love
Every day is on the increase.

Every cedar and every spruce
From your height may you hear their pleas
The eye not intrigued by thee
Its tear drops a bloody disease.

Your eye for mesmerizing hearts
Is a magician and master-tease.
Wherever a heart is longing for thee
Impatiently shears its own fleece.

The beauty of all the lovers
Beside your swan is ugly geese.
The heart that is out of love’s lease
From the circle of union release.
Hafiz’s soul, your ruby lips ease
Away from base lips, if you please.
