That Magnificent Storm
By Hafiz
Translated by Daniel Ladinsky
Sitting here
Loving like this
Alone again
In God's valley
After that magnificent storm
Of Your presence just
Passed.
I am like an elegant cypress
Whose face and form
Your beauty
Ruined.
Why not
Accuse You of infidelity
Or much
Worse
When every
Lover of God in this world
Would gladly
Testify
On
My
Behalf.
