for love seemed easy at first but difficulties befell

oh hey you cupbearer, pass around a cup and serve it MORE!!!

from the twist of his/her musky lock what blood fell in the heart

with a whiff/desire of musk which, after all [this waiting], may the breeze open up from the lock of hair

color with wine the prayer rug if to you the elder of the Maji's says

as soon as that which is desired is found, leave the world and ignore it

if you  want just this (very thing)  [to register] a (your) presence, don't absent [yourself] from him/her  Hafez

Listen to this poem read in two different styles:

#1  The way it's supposed to be read.

Hope you'll enjoy and try to imitate...

Notice it is not necessary to pause between feet or stichs and the emphasis  is on word stress rather than syllable length.

 #2  Read according to the meter.

 This style is provided only to show you the "behind-the-scenes" mechanics.  Poetry is never actually recited this way so don't try this in public! The trick is to always be conscious of the meter  but  make it look like you're not!  Listen to this style many, many times until it's in your blood, then throw it in the garbage and try to emulate the correct style to your left (#1)

Hemistichs 1 and 14 are in Arabic so watch for some strangeness especially with a/ā and v and w.  A poem with lines in another language mingled in is called "macaronic" and the resemblance to "macaroni" is not a coincidence for the ancients thought tossing a few vernacular bits into a Latin or Greek poem was cheapening it with the food of the common folk.

Pattern of meter :

--> Short Long Long Long | Short Long Long  Long | Short Long Long Long |  Short Long Long Long

L(ong) is a long syllable, S(hort) is a short syllable and E(xtra)L(ong) is a syllable, usually restricted to the last foot, containing a consonant cluster. A long syllable may contain a consonant + short vowel + consonant OR consonant + long vowel. A short syllable contains a consonant + short vowel.  In the older stages of the Persian language, long vowels really were pronounced with a longer duration and short vowels a little shorter, however, this distinction has been lost in the modern language. Today, only a master poetry reader can produce this effect.
