Arise so that by the wine - house door , an opening of the heart we may seek .;

In the path of the Friend , may sit ; and our purpose seek . *** Road - provisions for the path of travel to the Friend's fold , we have not , Perchance ,

By begging , from the wine - house door , road - provisions , we may seek . *** Though running , are our blood stained tears , yet ,

For despatching them to Him , one of pure nature , we seek . *** To our heart , forbidden be the taste of the stain of grief for Thee ,

If , for the violence of the grief of love for Thee , justice we seek . *** On vision's tablet , the point of Thy dark mole , one cannot cast ,

Unless , from the dark pupil of the eye , ink we seek . *** From Thy sweet lip , my heart with soul sought the way

With sweet smile , Thy lip said A purpose , let us seek . *** As long as the beperfumed prescription shall be for the distraught stricken heart ,

From Thy perfume - diffusing hair , a passion we seek - *** Since , save in the joyous heart , one cannot gain grief for Thee ,

In hope of grief for Thee , a joyous heart , we seek . *** Hafiz at the college - doer , how long sittest thou

Arise so that by the wine - house door , an opening of the heart we may seek . ***
