I suffered pain from love, don't ask how!
I've tasted bane from parting, don't ask how!
I wandered around the world, and at the end
I've chosen such a beloved, don't ask how!
I missed being on her front door so, as such
My tear is streaming from eyes, don't ask how!
You bite your lips to signal me, don't speak
I've bitten that rosy lips of her, don't ask how!
I myself with my own ears from her mouth
Heard such a strange tale, don't ask how!
Like Hafez who is a stranger on the way of love
I have reached to such a rank, don't ask how!
Translation of Ghazal No. 270 from Hafez by Hamed M. Dehongi
