Ghazal 480: O you who show no forbearance in killing us

ای که در کشتن ما هیچ مدارا نکنی
سود و سرمایه بسوزی و محابا نکنی

دردمندان بلا زهر هلاهل دارند
قصد این قوم خطا باشد هان تا نکنی

رنج ما را که توان برد به یک گوشهٔ چشم
شرط انصاف نباشد که مداوا نکنی

دیدهٔ ما چو به امید تو دریاست، چرا
به تفرج گذری بر لب دریا نکنی؟

نقل هر جور که از خلق کریمت کردند
قول صاحب غرضان است تو آن‌ها نکنی

بر تو گر جلوه کند شاهد ما ای زاهد
از خدا جز می و معشوق تمنا نکنی

حافظا سجده به ابروی چو محرابش بر
که دعایی ز سر صدق جز آن جا نکنی

O you who show no forbearance in killing us,
who burn both profit and capital and have no scruple.

Those who suffer affliction carry a deadly poison;
to set upon such people is a mistake: take care that you do not.

Our suffering could be taken away by one corner of your eye;
it is not what fairness requires that you should give no remedy.

Since our eye has become a sea in hope of you, why
do you not pass along the shore of that sea for pleasure?

Every cruelty that they have reported of your generous nature
is the talk of those with an interest: you do no such things.

If our beauty should show himself to you, O ascetic,
you would ask God for nothing but wine and the beloved.

Hafez, bow down to his eyebrow, which is like a prayer niche,
for you offer no prayer in sincerity except there.
