The 12 Days of Hafiz: Day 9

SO YOU CAN PLANT MORE WHEAT

I would like to remove some rocks
From your field
So that you can plant more wheat.

And those hills I see that are part of you,
I have some trees in mind for them
And flowering grasses, so that you won't erode
When the elements pour.

Are we not lovers?
Cannot I speak to you
Like this?

Do I need to ask your permission
To hitch up my ox and sing to him
As I improve your vast terrain?

The title to your heart came to my office.
In looking at it
A great interest in your soul developed.
The care of your soul
Became mine.

So I would like to remove some stones
From your meadows;
Then an orchard you could grow,
And the world,
And the world then,
Will come to taste
Your riches.

~ Hafiz
