O true Beloved come , so that ...

O true Beloved come , so that , in my shattered and grief - stricken heart , power may enter again

Come so that , in my dead body , life may enter again . *** Come for separation from Thee hath closed my eye in such a way

That , it , only the opening of the door of union with Thee may perchance open again . *** That grief , that , like the black army of Zang took , in blood , my heart ,

By the troop of horse of joyousness of the Rum the country of Thy face , will be effaced again . *** Before the mirror of the heart , whatever I hold ,

Save the image of Thy beauty appeareth not again . *** By that proverb that the night is pregnant with events and vicissitudes , far in separation from Thee which is the cause of humiliation

I count the stars and am in this fear and danger Let us see what the night bringeth forth again . *** Through fear of the desert , evil make not thy heart the ihram , bind on

For reflecteth not the man of the Path , though from the desert , or from the journey he cometh not again . *** Hafiz come . For the bulbul , agreeable of heart ,

By the perfume of the rose - bed of union with thee , singeth again . ***
