Lost Joseph will return to Canaan, do not grieve; the hut of sorrow will one day become a rose garden, do not grieve.
یوسف گمگشته بازآید به کنعان غم مخور
کلبهٔ احزان شود روزی گلستان غم مخورYûsuf-ı güm-geşte bâz âyed be-Ken'ân gam mahor
külbe-i ahzân şeved rûzî gülistân gam mahor
Hafez, Divan, ghazal 255, couplet 1 (Qazvini-Ghani).
Joseph was lost.
Jacob's eyes turned white from weeping.
Hafez knows how the story ends.
The shirt arrives, the eyes open.
Do not grieve, he says at the end of every line.
The hut of sorrow, too, will one day become a rose garden.
The one who waits has already set out on the road to what he waits for.
