Ghazal 173 (غزل ۱۷۳) · Divan of Hafez
در نمازم خَمِ ابرویِ تو با یاد آمد
dar namāzam kham-e abrū-ye to bā yād āmad

k-ān taḥammol ke to dīdī hame bar bād āmad
bāde ṣāfī shod o morghān-e chaman mast shodand
mowsem-e ʿāsheqī o kār be bonyād āmad
bū-ye behbūd ze owżāʿ-e jahān mīshenavam
shādī āvard gol o bād-e ṣabā shād āmad
ey ʿarūs-e honar az bakht shekāyat manamā
ḥejle-ye ḥosn biyārāy ke dāmād āmad
delfarībān-e nabātī hame zīvar bastand
delbar-e māst ke bā ḥosn-e khodādād āmad

ey khoshā sarv ke az bār-e gham āzād āmad
moṭreb az gofte-ye Ḥāfeẓ ghazalī naghz bekhwān
tā begūyam ke ze ʿahd-e ṭarabam yād āmad
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.
