the nightingales are drunk

May I remember always when

Your glance in secrecy met mine,

in my face your love was like

A visibly reflected sign.

允我时时铭记，

你悄然一瞥与我对视，

我的面容映衬，你的爱

明晰可见。

Your chiding eyes were like my death

 And your sweet lips restored my life

 Like Jesus's reviving breath

你责备目光使我消亡

你甜蜜唇瓣使我复生

如同基督挽命之息

May I remember always when

We drank our wine as darkness die

My friend and I, alone at dawn,

Though God was there too, at our side

允我时时铭记，

我们醉饮如黑暗陨灭，

我的朋友和我，独自徘徊于破晓，

上帝垂悯，也俯于身侧

May I remember always when

Your face was pleasure's flame, and my Poor fluttering heart was like a moth

That's singed and is about to die

允我时时铭记，

你的脸颊似欢愉之火，我的

心鼓翼如飞蛾，

焦灼垂死

May I remember always when

The company that we were in

Was so polite, and when it seemed

Only the wine would wink and grin

允我时时铭记，

你我相伴

顺从恭敬，好似

唯有佳酿在眨眼嬉笑

May I remember always when

Our goblet laughed with crimson wine

What tales passed back and forth between Your ruby lips, my dear, and mine

允我时时铭记，

我们的酒杯在深红色佳酿中欢笑

何等蜚语来回消遣

在我的，我亲爱的，你红宝石的唇瓣

May I remember always whe

I was a canopy unfurled

That shaded you, and you were like

The new moon riding through the world.

允我时时铭记，

我如苍穹展翼，

庇荫于你，而你

如新月从世界驱驾而行

May I remember always when

 I sat and drank in wine-shops where What I can't find in mosques today

Accompanied the drinkers there

允我时时铭记

我醉坐在酒铺之中，

在清真寺中无可循迹之物，

正与醉饮者相伴

May I remember always when

The jewels of verse Hafez selected

Were set out properly by you

Arranged in order, and corrected

允我时时铭记

哈菲兹诗篇遴选的珠玉宝藏
