I’ve endured pain of a Love, don’t even ask
I’ve endured the bitter poison of separation, don’t even ask
I searched through the world and finally
Picked a loved one, don’t even ask
Longing for the dust of my beloved’s door
In tears are my eyes, don’t even ask
With my own ears from my beloved’s mouth
I’ve heard many words, don’t even ask
Don’t bite your lips for me and be silent
Sweet lips I have found, don’t even ask
Without You in the court of beggars
I’ve endured sufferings, don’t even ask
Just like Hafez the stranger on the path of Love
I have reached a high status, don’t even ask
