Ghazal 61 (غزل ۶۱) · Divan of Hafez
صبا اگر گذری اُفتَدَت به کشور دوست
ṣabā agar gozarī oftādat be keshvar-e dūst
biyār nafḥeʾī az gīsū-ye moʿanbar-e dūst
be jān-e ū ke be shokrāne jān bar-afshānam
agar be sū-ye man ārī payāmī az bar-e dūst
va gar chenān ke dar ān ḥażratat nabāshad bār
barā-ye dīde biyāvar ghobārī az dar-e dūst
man-e gadā o tamannā-ye vaṣl-e ū heyhāt
magar be khāb bebīnam khayāl-e manẓar-e dūst
del-e ṣanowbarī-am hamcho bīd larzān ast
ze ḥasrat-e qad o bālā-ye chūn ṣanowbar-e dūst
agar che dūst be chīzī nemī-kharad mā rā
be ʿālamī nafrūshīm mūyī az sar-e dūst
che bāshad ar shavad az band-e gham delash āzād
cho hast Ḥāfeẓ-e meskīn gholām o chāker-e dūst
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.
