From the fire of love of my he...

From the fire of love of my heart , my chest in grief for the Beloved consumed .

In this house of the heart was such a fire , that the house consumed . *** From the farness of the Heart - Ravisher , my body melted waned

From Love's fire for the Beloved's face , my soul consumed . *** Whoever beheld the chain of the tress - tip of the one of Par face ,

Against me distraught , his heart distraught - stricken , consumed . *** Behold the heart's burning For , from the great fire of my tears , the candle's heart wick

Last night , from Love's desire , like the moth , consumed . *** Strange it is not that the Friends are heart - consuming for me

When out of myself distraught I went , even the stranger's heart consumed . *** The water of the tavern took my religious garment of austerity

My house of reason , the fire of the tavern consumed . *** As the cup of my heart broke from the repentance that I made ,

So my liver , like a wine flagon , without wine and the tavern , consumed . *** O Admonisher make little talk come back and be not my prohibitor of love's Path For , the man of my eye

Plucked , from off my head , the religious garment of modesty and , in thanks for the acquisition of love consumed . *** Hafiz Abandon idle talk of outward worshippers and , awhile , drink wine of love

For by reason of such profitless talk last night , we slept not and , with this idle talk , the candle of my life consumed . ***
