Ghazal 270: I have borne such a pain of love: do not ask.

درد عشقی کشیده‌ام که مپرس
زهر هجری چشیده‌ام که مپرس

گشته‌ام در جهان و آخر کار
دلبری برگزیده‌ام که مپرس

آن چنان در هوای خاک درش
می‌رود آب دیده‌ام که مپرس

من به گوش خود از دهانش دوش
سخنانی شنیده‌ام که مپرس

سوی من لب چه می‌گزی که مگوی
لب لعلی گزیده‌ام که مپرس

بی تو در کلبهٔ گدایی خویش
رنج‌هایی کشیده‌ام که مپرس

همچو حافظ غریب در ره عشق
به مقامی رسیده‌ام که مپرس

I have borne such a pain of love: do not ask.
I have tasted such a poison of separation: do not ask.

I have wandered through the world, and at the end of it all
I have chosen such a stealer of hearts: do not ask.

In such a way, out of longing for the dust of his door,
do the tears of my eyes keep flowing: do not ask.

Last night, with my own ear, from his own mouth
I heard such words: do not ask.

Why do you bite your lip at me, as if to say "Do not tell"?
I have bitten such a ruby lip: do not ask.

Without you, in the hut of my own beggary,
I have endured such sufferings: do not ask.

Like Hafez, a stranger on the road of love,
I have arrived at such a station: do not ask.
