Hafiz poem translation

Postby Adeline » 2015-03-30, 14:54

Hello all!
I would like to know if the poem of Hafiz "Absolutely Clear" is available "somewhere" in farsi language. There is a lot of Hafiz poem in both languages on internet but seems to be impossible to find this one! Or can someone help me to translate it back in Farsi? Thanks for your help!!!

Don't surrender your loneliness so quickly.
Let it cut more deep.

Let it ferment and season you
As few human or even divine ingredients can.

Something missing in my heart tonight
Has made my eyes so soft,
My voice so tender,

My need of God
Absolutely
Clear.

This is actually a poem written in English by Daniel Ladinsky. He calls his original poems "translations" of Hafiz, although he knows no Persian, because he claims Hafiz came to him in a dream and spoke these poems to him (in English). So, there is no Persian original.
Please correct my mistakes in any language.
