Ghazal 104 (غزل ۱۰۴) · Divan of Hafez
جمالت آفتابِ هر نظر باد
jamālat āftāb-e har naẓar bād
ze khūbī rūy-e khūbat khūbtar bād
homāy-e zolf-e shāhīn-shahparat rā
del-e shāhān-e ʿālam zīr-e par bād
kasī kū baste-ye zolfat nabāshad
cho zolfat darham o zīr o zebar bād
delī kū ʿāsheq-e rūyat nabāshad
hamīshe gharqe dar khūn-e jegar bād
botā chūn ghamzeʾat nāvak feshānad
del-e majrūḥ-e man pīshash separ bād
cho laʿl-e shakkarīnat būse bakhshad
mazāq-e jān-e man zū porshekar bād
marā az tūst har dam tāze ʿeshqī
to rā har sāʿatī ḥosnī degar bād
be jān moshtāq-e rūy-e tūst Ḥāfeẓ
to rā dar ḥāl-e moshtāqān naẓar bād
The Persian verses are from the Divan of Hafez of Shiraz, drawn from the public-domain ganjoor archive, and presented unchanged. The transliteration is model-assisted and awaiting review by a Persian-literate reader — if you spot a slip, we’d love to hear.
Hold a question in your heart, and let a verse of Hafez answer it.
