Hafiz: Ghazal 367 "Wine, Humans and Song" (From Persian) Posted: 01 Jul 2015 01:42 PM PDT This poem, like the Entreaty to Fakhr-al-Din Abd-ul-Samad seems to be composed very much with a singing voice in mind, and thus to have a more strophic dimension to its verses than many other ghazals. Thus, the romanization I have provided this time is formatted, like my translation, with each verse broken down into four metrically identical units, so as to suggest the way the poem moves and highlight the frequent verse-internal rhymes. I have so chosen the metrical pattern that the English translation should, at least theoretically, also be singable to many of the same melodies to which the Persian original has been set. Ghazal 367:  Wine, Humans and Song By Hafiz Translated by A.Z. Foreman Come so that we can scatter flowers　　 and fill the glass to brim with wine,　　 　　Split heaven's ceiling with our powers 　　and try a wholly new design. When armies march to spill the blood　　 of lovers' hearts with Sorrow's pike　　 　　The serving boy and I destroy 　　their camp in one drunk counterstrike. Here, put rosewater in the wine　　 and sugar in the censer there　　 　　To sweeten up the scent we sense 　　upon the incense-bearing air. A fine-tuned lute is in your hand　　 so play a fine and tuneful song.　　 　　We'll stamp our feet, carouse in dance, 　　clap to the beat and sing along. O dawn wind, bear my being's dust　　 unto that threshold great and high.　　 　　Perhaps I'll glimpse His majesty 　　and see His beauty, eye to eye. One boasts of his great intellect　　 Another of the spells he binds.　　 　　Put it before the Judge. Let Him 　　settle the question and our minds. If you want Eden's Garden, come　　 and join me in the drunkards' bar.　　 　　I'll tip you from a cask of wine 　　into the waters of Kawsar. Hafiz, the arts of verse and song　　 are out of fashion in Shiraz.　　 　　Go, seek a more receptive realm, 　　a court more loving in its laws. Notes: Verse 7: Kawsar - a stream found in Paradise. Verse 8: As in some of Hafiz' other poems, the ending seems to be a not-so-veiled threat to take his verse's business elsewhere if he is not treated better by the local potentate.
