Ghazal 57: That dark-skinned one who has all the sweetness of the world

آن سیه‌چرده که شیرینی عالم با اوست
چشم میگون، لب خندان، دل خرم با اوست

گرچه شیرین‌‌دهنان پادشهان‌اند ولی
او سلیمان زمان است که خاتم با اوست

روی خوب است و کمال هنر و دامن پاک
لاجرم، همت پاکان دو عالم با اوست

خال مشکین که بدان عارض گندمگون است
سر آن دانه که شد رهزن آدم با اوست

دلبرم، عزم سفر کرد خدا را یاران
چه کنم با دل مجروح؟ که مرهم با اوست

با که این نکته توان گفت که آن سنگین‌‌دل
کشت ما را و دم عیسی مریم با اوست؟

«حافظ» از معتقدان است گرامی دارش!
زان که بخشایش بس روح مکرم با اوست

That dark-skinned one who has all the sweetness of the world
has the wine-coloured eye, the laughing lip and the glad heart.

Though the sweet-mouthed are kings, yet
he is the Solomon of the age, for he has the seal ring.

He has a fair face, perfect skill and a clean skirt;
so the good will of the pure of both worlds is with him.

The musky mole that lies on that wheat-coloured cheek
holds the secret of the grain that waylaid Adam.

My heart-stealer has resolved to travel; for God's sake, friends,
what shall I do with my wounded heart? For he has the salve.

To whom can one tell this: that stony-hearted one
killed us, and he has the breath of Jesus son of Mary?

Hafez is one of the believers; hold him dear,
for the forgiveness of many a noble soul is with him.
