Ghazal 210 (غزل ۲۱۰) · Divan of Hafez
دوش در حلقهٔ ما قصّهٔ گیسویِ تو بود
dūsh dar ḥalqe-ye mā qeṣṣe-ye gīsū-ye to būd
tā del-e shab sokhan az selsele-ye mū-ye to būd
del ke az nāvak-e mozhgān-e to dar khūn mī-gasht
bāz moshtāq-e kamān-khāne-ye abrū-ye to būd
ham ʿafā-llāh ṣabā k-az to payāmī mī-dād
var na dar kas narasīdīm ke az kūy-e to būd
ʿālam az shūr o shar-e ʿeshq khabar hīch nadāsht
fetne-angīz-e jahān ghamze-ye jādū-ye to būd
man-e sargashte ham az ahl-e salāmat būdam
dām-e rāham shekan-e ṭorre-ye hendū-ye to būd
begshā band-e qabā tā begshāyad del-e man
ke goshādī ke marā būd ze pahlū-ye to būd
be vafā-ye to ke bar torbat-e Ḥāfeẓ begzar
k-az jahān mī-shod o dar ārezū-ye rūy-e to būd
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.
