Ghazal 317 (غزل ۳۱۷) · Divan of Hafez
فاش میگویم و از گفتهٔ خود دلشادَم
fāsh mī-gūyam-o az gofte-ye khod delshādam
bande-ye ʿeshqam-o az har do jahān āzādam
ṭāyer-e golshan-e qodsam che daham sharḥ-e ferāq?
ke dar īn dāmgah-e ḥādese chūn oftādam
man malak būdam-o ferdows-e barīn jāyam būd
Ādam āvard dar īn deyr-e kharābābādam
sāye-ye ṭūbā-vo deljūyī-ye ḥūr-o lab-e ḥowż
be havā-ye sar-e kūy-e to beraft az yādam
nīst bar lowḥ-e delam joz alf-e qāmat-e dūst
che konam ḥarf-e degar yād nadād ostādam
kowkab-e bakht-e marā hīch monajjem nashenākht
yā rab az mādar-e gītī be che ṭāleʿ zādam?
tā shodam ḥalqe be gūsh-e dar-e meykhāne-ye ʿeshq
har dam āyad ghamī az now be mobārakbādam
mī-khorad khūn-e delam mardomak-e dīde, sezāst
ke cherā del be jegargūshe-ye mardom dādam
pāk kon chehre-ye Ḥāfeẓ be sar-e zolf ze ashk
var na īn seyl-e damādam bebarad bonyādam
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.
