Ghazal 406: He said: you went out to watch the new moon

گفتا برون شدی به تماشای ماه نو
از ماه ابروان منت شرم باد رو

عمری‌ست تا دلت ز اسیران زلف ماست
غافل ز حفظ جانب یاران خود مشو

مفروش عطر عقل به هندوی زلف ما
کان‌جا هزار نافهٔ مشکین به نیم‌جو

تخم وفا و مهر در این کهنه کشته‌زار
آن‌گه عیان شود که بود موسم درو

ساقی بیار باده که رمزی بگویمت
از سر‌ اختران کهن‌سیر و ماه نو

شکل هلال هر سر مه می‌دهد نشان
از افسر سیامک و ترک کلاه زو

حافظ جناب پیر مغان مأمن وفاست
درس حدیث عشق بر او خوان و زو شنو

He said: you went out to watch the new moon;
be ashamed before the moon of my eyebrows, and go.

For a lifetime your heart has been among the captives of our tress;
do not neglect to keep faith with your own friends.

Do not sell the perfume of reason to the Hindu of our tress,
for there a thousand pods of musk go for half a barleycorn.

The seed of faithfulness and love in this old sown field
will show itself when the season of harvest comes.

Cupbearer, bring wine, that I may tell you a hint
of the secret of the old-wandering stars and the new moon.

The shape of the crescent at the head of each month gives a sign
of the diadem of Siyamak and the crown of the cap of Zav.

Hafez, the court of the Magian elder is the refuge of faithfulness;
read him the lesson of the tale of love, and hear it from him.
