Ghazal 312 (غزل ۳۱۲) · Divan of Hafez
بُشری اِذِ السَّلامةُ حَلَّت بِذی سَلَم
boshrā eẕi s-salāmatu ḥallat be-ẕī salam
lillāhi ḥamdu moʿtarefen ghāyata n-neʿam
ān khosh khabar kojāst? ke īn fatḥ, mozhde dād
tā jān feshānamash cho zar-o sīm dar qadam
az bāzgasht-e shāh dar īn ṭorfe manzel ast
āhang-e khasm-e ū be sarāparde-ye ʿadam
peymān shekan harāyene gardad shekaste ḥāl
inna l-ʿohūda ʿenda malīki n-nohā ẕemam
mī-jost az saḥāb-e amal raḥmatī valī
joz dīdeʾash moʿāyene bīrūn nadād nam
dar nīl-e gham fotād; sepehrash be ṭanz goft
al-āna qad nademta o mā yanfaʿu n-nadam?
sāqī cho yār-e mah rokh o az ahl-e rāz būd
Ḥāfeẓ bekhord bāde-vo sheykh-o faqīh ham
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.
