The reed's tongue hath no desi...

The reed's tongue hath no desire for the explanation of separation

If not , to thee , I give the explanation of the tale of separation . *** O true Beloved comrades of the troop of Thy fancy and fellow - riders with patience , are we lovers of Thee

The associate of labour , and of'distress and the companion of separation . *** Alas life's span , in hope of union ,

Hath reached to an end and to an end , hath not come the time of separation . *** That head that , in glory , 1 rubbed on the head of the sphere ,

I swear by the true ones that I compelled by Fate and Destiny placed it on the threshold of separation . *** In desire of union , how may I unfold the wing ,

For its feathers , the bird of my heart hath shed on the nest of separation . *** Union with Thee , how may I claim By my soul I swear that hath become ,

My heart , the secretary of fate and my body , the pledge of separation . *** Roast - flesh became my heart from the burning of desire and far in separation from the true Beloved ,

Ever , the blood of the liver , I drink from the tray of separation . *** Now , what remedy , when , into the great whirlpool of grief's ocean ,

The bark of my patience hath fallen on account of the sail of separation . *** Not much it wanted that the bark of my life should be overwhelmed ,

With love's wave from the limitless ocean of separation . *** When , captive to love's circle , the sky beheld my head ,

The neck of my patience , it bound with the cord of separation . *** O Lord into the world , who brought disjunction and separation

Dark be the day of disjunction , and the house of separation . *** Hafiz if , with the foot of desire , this Path of love to the end thou hadst gone ,

To the hand of disjunction , none would have given the rein of separation . ***
