IV122

My love has become as perfect as your beauty.
Let us be happy; both are now eternal.

If I get to be with you only one day of my life,
That day will be the happiest of my existence.

When I'm with you a year feels like a day,
And a day without you feels like a year.

O beauty! When I touch your face in a dream,
then sleeping feels like a vanity.

Hafiz, if its the Beloved you seek, do not complain,
You will have to live with long separations.
