Ghazal 288: The water's edge, the foot of the willow, a mind for poetry and a pleasant friend

کنار آب و پای بید و طبع شعر و یاری خوش
معاشر دلبری شیرین و ساقی گلعذاری خوش

الا ای دولتی طالع، که قدر وقت می‌دانی
گوارا بادت این عشرت که داری روزگاری خوش

هر آن کس را که در خاطر ز عشق دلبری باریست
سپندی گو بر آتش نه، که دارد کار و باری خوش

عروس طبع را زیور ز فکر بکر می‌بندم
بود کز دست ایامم به دست افتد نگاری خوش

شب صحبت غنیمت دان و داد خوشدلی بستان
که مهتابی دل افروز است و طرف لاله زاری خوش

میی در کاسهٔ چشم است ساقی را بنامیزد
که مستی می‌کند با عقل و می‌بخشد خماری خوش

به غفلت عمر شد حافظ، بیا با ما به میخانه
که شنگولان خوش باشت، بیاموزند کاری خوش

The water's edge, the foot of the willow, a mind for poetry and a pleasant friend;
for company a sweet stealer of hearts, and a pleasant rose-cheeked cupbearer.

may this pleasure do you good, for you are having a pleasant time.

Count the night of company as a prize and take your full due of gladness,
for there is moonlight that warms the heart and a pleasant tulip field's edge.

There is a wine in the bowl of the cupbearer's eye, God's name upon it,
that makes the reason drunk and gives a pleasant languor.

Life has gone by in heedlessness, Hafez; come with us to the tavern,
so that the merry ones may teach you a pleasant trade.
