قهر

Why do you look toward me any longer,

نگه دگر به سوی من چه میکنی؟

when you are seated beside my rival?

چو در بر رقیب من نشسته ای

I am astonished that, after all those deceptions,

به حیرتم که بعد از آن فربیها

you too have settled down to deceive me.

تو هم پی فریب من نشسته ای

With my own eyes that night, O God, I saw

به چشم خویش دیدم آن شب ای خدا

you touch your cup to someone else's cup.

که جام خود به جام دیگری زدی

When Hafez's divination was opened among us,

چو فال حافظ آن میانه باز شد

you cast your own fortune in someone else's name.

تو فال خود به نام دیگری زدی

Go… go… toward her; what sorrow is that to me?

برو ... برو ... به سوی او مرا چه غم

You are the sun… she is the earth… I am the sky.

تو آفتابی ... او زمین ... من آسمان

Shine upon her, for I have settled

بر او بتاب ز آنکه من نشسته ام

gracefully upon the shoulders of the stars.

به ناز روی شانه ستارگان

Shine upon her, for in all this,

بر او بتاب ز آنکه گریه میکند

my heart weeps for her condition.

در این میانه قلب من به حال او

Such acts of renunciation are the perfection of love.

کمال عشق باشد این گذشتها

Your heart belongs to me; your body belongs to her.

دل تو مال من تن تو مال او

You who have drawn me behind veils,

تو که مرا به پرده ها کشیده ای

how have you not found the way to my secret?

چگونه ره نبرده ای به راز من ؟

I renounced your body, for in this world

گذشتم از تن تو زانکه در جهان

no body was the destination of my longing.

تنی نبود مقصد نیاز من

If I have run toward you in this way,

اگر بسویت این چنین دویده ام

I am in love with love, not with union with you.

به عشق عاشقم نه بر وصال تو

In the darkness of my lightless nights,

به ظلمت شبان بی فروغ من

the thought of love is sweeter than the thought of you.

خیال عشق خوشتر از خیال تو

Now that you are seated beside her,

کنون که در کنار او نشسته ای

you, the wine, and the fortune of union with her,

تو و شراب و دولت وصال او

the past has gone, and that tale has grown old.

گذشته رفت و آن افسانه کهنه شد

Your body remains, and her undying love.

تن تو ماند و عشق بی زوال او
