In this city is no idol that ,...

In this city is no idol that , our heart , taketh

If fortune be my friend , hence my chattels , it fortune taketh . *** Where is a companion , disdainful and intoxicated , before whose generosity ,

The mention of his desire , the heart - consumed lover taketh *** O gardener outward worshipper careless of the autumn the resurrection , day I behold thee

Alas that day when thy beautiful rose of desire the wind of death taketh . *** Time's highwayman Shaitan hath not slept . Of him , be not secure ,

If thee , he hath not taken to - day . For , to - morrow , thee he taketh . *** The ass the Israelite the shout - like bellow of the ox of Samiri deceiveth .

Reflection from the effulgent sun , the obscure star Suha when taketh *** In fancy , I play all this idol verse in this desire/

Possibly , the mention of the spectacle of verse a master of vision taketh . *** The science and the eloquence that , in forty years , my heart acquired

I fear that , as plunder , that intoxicated narcissus the sorcery of the beloved's eye taketh . *** With miracle , sorcery maketh not equality . Safe be

Who is Samiri that , from the white hand of Musa superiority he taketh . *** Although Love's path is the ambush - place of bowmen ,

Knowing , whoever goeth , profit from enemies taketh . *** The obstacle of the heart - straitened one's path is the crystal - glass of wine

From thy hand , put it not , lest from thy place , thee grief's torrent take . *** Hafiz if the beloved's intoxicated eye seek thy life ,

Clear out the house of the heart of life and let it go , so that it thy life it the beloved's eye may take . ***
