Ghazal 323 (غزل ۳۲۳) · Divan of Hafez
ز دستِ کوتهِ خود زیرِ بارم
ze dast-e kotah-e khod zīr-e bāram
ke az bālābolandān sharmsāram
magar zanjīr-e mūyī gīradam dast
vagar na sar be sheydāyī barāram
ze chashm-e man bepors owżāʿ-e gardūn
ke shab tā rūz akhtar mī-shomāram
bedīn shokrāne mī-būsam lab-e jām
ke kard āgah ze rāz-e rūzgāram
agar goftam doʿā-ye mey forūshān
che bāshad? ḥaq-e neʿmat mī-gozāram
man az bāzū-ye khod dāram basī shokr
«ke zūr-e mardom āzārī nadāram»
sarī dāram cho Ḥāfeẓ mast leykan
be loṭf-e ān sarī omīdvāram
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.
