Ghazal 270 (غزل ۲۷۰) · Divan of Hafez
دردِ عشقی کشیدهام که مَپُرس
dard-e ʿešqī kešīde-am ke mapors
zahr-e hejrī chešīde-am ke mapors
gašte-am dar jahān o ākher-e kār
delbarī bargozīde-am ke mapors
ān chenān dar havā-ye khāk-e daraš
mī-ravad āb-e dīde-am ke mapors
man be gūš-e khod az dahānaš dūš
sokhanānī šenīde-am ke mapors
sū-ye man lab che mī-gazī ke magūy
lab-e laʿlī gazīde-am ke mapors
bī to dar kolbe-ye gedāyī-ye khīš
ranj-hāyī kešīde-am ke mapors
hamcho Ḥāfeẓ gharīb dar rah-e ʿešq
be maqāmī resīde-am ke mapors
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.
