Scent of love

The wind is gentle, elated, the evangelist of beauty.
Take hello my passionate one that you know.

Tell her that dreams will take me away from the world
If she doesn't give me the rewards you know,

Because it is forbidden to see flowers of paradise
It's hard - and the sadness that you know gnaws at the heart.

And what are the flowers of Eden, if they are spilled into the soul
The scents of that valley, of those flowers that you know?

I do not want to be an eagle, to see the earth from a height:
Nightingale Hafiz that rose will sing that you know

Haviz (translation by A. Fet)
