How a lustrous verse exciteth ...

How a lustrous verse exciteth afresh the heart that is sorrowful through love for , and through the stain of , the world and from search after lust

A subtlety out of this book , we uttered and enough is this very subtlety . *** O beloved if , from thy ruby lip I gain a ring of protection ,

Beneath the order of my seal - ring , will be a hundred countries of Sulaiman . *** O heart on account of the calumny of the envious , it is not proper to be sorrowful

When thou lookest well and arrives at the truth of the matter it is possible that , in this , is thy good . *** Who understandeth not this my reed , image loftily raising of God

Let his form , move not , let him die , even if he himself be the celebrated painter of Chin . *** The cup of wine of ease and the blood of the heart of grief each , they Fate and Destiny gave to each one

In the action of destiny's circle , thus it is to one grief , to another ease *** In the matter of rose - water and of the rose , the decree of eternity without beginning was this

That that the rose should be the lovely one of the bazar the harlot and that this the rose - water should be the sitter behind the veil the chaste one *** Possible it is not that from Hafiz's heart profligacy should depart

For , till the last of time will be that custom of first of time . ***
