Hafez, Ghazal no.152 The radiance of your goodness manifested in eternity Love appeared and set fire to the mountain, earth and sea Your face radiated, and still saw angels were loveless Setting this fire on man, was then your zealous decree Mind wanted to turn this fire to its own guiding light You set the world in chaos with your ardent, radiant glee False seeker sought to witness the secrets of the world Hidden hand came and kept away his undeserving plea To others fate brought a lot, filled with pleasure and joy My sad hearts lot was to be saddened on its knee. My sublime soul was longing for a glimpse of your face My hand running through the locks of your hair lovingly Hafez wrote his love poems only on the day that he Let the pen write from the heart that is joyous and free.
