Your Fal

Ghazal 454

ز کوی یار می‌آید نسیمِ بادِ نوروزیاز این باد ار مدد خواهی، چراغِ دل برافروزی

چو گل گر خرده‌ای داری، خدا را صرفِ عشرت کنکه قارون را غلط‌ها داد، سودای زراندوزی

ز جام گل، دگر بلبل، چنان مستِ میِ لعل استکه زد بر چرخ فیروزه صفیرِ تختِ فیروزی

Interpretation

The Nowruz breeze is blowing from the Friend’s street; draw strength from it and light the lamp of your heart. If you have wealth, spend it on joy rather than hoarding it. Go out into the countryside to shake the dust of sorrow from your clothes. The way to grant others’ wishes is to let go of your own. The chance for joy is short. If your dear one has left, be patient.

Think of your question, then open your Fal.
