Ghazal 478

نوش کن جام شراب یک منی
تا بدان بیخ غم از دل برکنی

دل، گشاده دار چون جام شراب
سر گرفته چند چون خم دنی

چون ز جام بی‌خودی رطلی کشی
کم زنی از خویشتن لاف منی

سنگسان شو، در قدم نی همچو آب
جمله رنگ‌آمیزی و تردامنی

دل به می دربند تا مردانه‌وار
گردن سالوس و تقوا بشکنی

خیز و جهدی کن چو حافظ تا مگر
خویشتن در پای معشوق افکنی

Drink a cup of wine of a full measure,
so that with it you tear the root of grief out of your heart.

Keep your heart open like the cup of wine;
how long will you stay stopped up, like the lowly jar?

When you have drawn a measure from the cup of selflessness,
you will boast less of your own self.

Be like a stone underfoot, and not like water,
all mixing of colours and wetness of skirt.

Bind your heart to wine, so that like a man
you may break the neck of hypocrisy and of show of piety.

Rise and make an effort like Hafez, so that perhaps
you may throw yourself at the feet of the beloved.
