Turke Shirazi Hafez Poem

Nima| June 14, 2010 5:02 am

This is a famous poem by Hafez. Following is a translation taken from Hafiz In Love website:

That beautiful Shirazi Turk, took control and my heart stole,
I’ll give Samarkand & Bukhara, for her Hindu beauty mole.

I think the translation should be slightly different as follow:

If that beautiful Shirazi Turk takes my heart
I’ll give Samarkand & Bukhara, for her Hindu beauty mole.
