Ghazal 182 (غزل ۱۸۲) · Divan of Hafez
حَسْبِ حالی نَنِوِشتی و شد ایّامی چند
ḥasb-e ḥālī naneveshtī o shod ayyāmī chand
maḥramī kū ke ferestam be to peyghāmī chand
mā bedān maqṣad-e ʿālī natavānīm rasīd
ham magar pīsh nehad loṭf-e shomā gāmī chand
chon mey az khom be sabū raft o gol afkand neqāb
forṣat-e ʿeysh negah dār o bezan jāmī chand
qand-e āmīkhte bā gol na ʿelāj-e del-e māst
būseʾī chand barāmīz be doshnāmī chand
zāhed az kūche-ye rendān be salāmat bogzar
tā kharābat nakonad ṣoḥbat-e badnāmī chand
ʿeyb-e mey jomle cho goftī honar-ash nīz begū
nafy-e ḥekmat makon az bahr-e del-e ʿāmī chand
ey gadāyān-e kharābāt Khodā yār-e shomāst

Ḥāfeẓ az showq-e rokh-e mehr-forūgh-e to besūkht
kāmgārā naẓarī kon sū-ye nākāmī chand
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.
