Hafiz حافظ Ghazal 204: Hari bahagia itu...

Hari bahagia itu, ketika tanganmu berada disampingku,
Tanda-tanda cintamu, paras sifatku diperindahkan.
Hari bahagia itu ketika kata-katamu disalibkan,
Kemudian jiwaku dibangkitkan, melayang ke atas.
Hari bahagia itu adalah ketika wain, kita muliakan,
Tuhan bersamaku sementara di sisiku adalah pengantinku.
Hari bahagia itu adalah ketika lilinmu menjadi panduanku,
Dan hatiku, seperti gegat, disambar apimu.
Hari bahagia itu ketika di tengah-tengah pengetahuan dan kemegahan,
Tawa kemabukan dimartabatkan.
Hari bahagia itu ketika kita minum dari cangkir dalam langkah kita,
Dan bercerita tentang kisah suatu perkara yang telah kita cuba.
Hari bahagia itu ketika Kekasih akan memutuskan,
Pada matahari dan bulan, dalam perkhidmatan, bergantung harapan.
Hari bahagia itu di kedai arak akan aku patuhi
Melihat hal-hal yang dari candi tersembunyi.
Hari bahagia itu saat isyaratku disahkan;
Buatkan bengkok itu lurus, Hafiz, sempit, diluaskan.

Happy days were when your hand was by my side,
Signs of your love, my features beautified.
Happy days were when your words crucified,
Then my soul resurrected, upward glide.
Happy days were when the wine, we glorified,
God was with me while by my side was my bride.
Happy days were when your candle was my guide,
And my heart, like a moth, your flames would ride.
Happy days were when amidst knowledge and pride
The drunken laughter was dignified.
Happy days were when we drank from the cup in our stride,
And told tales of the things that we tried.
Happy days were when Beloved would decide,
On the sun and moon, in service, relied.
Happy days in the tavern I would abide
Saw the things that from the temple would hide.
Happy days were when your signal verified;
Made the crooked straight, Hafiz, narrow, wide.
