Come For most unstable is the foundation of the Palace of Hope the body , relying for permanency on external worship

Bring the cup of God's love for the foundation of Life of the soul is swiftly departing on the swift wind . *** Beneath the azure vault , I am that slave of resolution , who

Is free from whatever taketh colour of attachment . *** What shall I tell thee Last night , in the wine - tavern the stage of Truth completely intoxicated .

Me , Jibr'a , il of the invisible world gave tidings how glad , *** Saying O Falcon of lofty vision , sitting on the Sidra tree of lofty degree

Not thy nest , is this corner of the world full of woe . *** From highest Heaven's pinnacle , they utter a cry for thee

In this snare - place the World I know not what Fortune hath befallen thee that with it , thou art fascinated *** Counsel , I proffer thee take it to mind ; bring it into action

For , from the Pir of Tarikat the Path I recollect this matter . *** From the world of unstable nature , seek not uprightness of covenant

For , this old woman is the bride of a thousand Lovers . *** Suffer not grief for the World ; take not my counsel from thy mind

For , from a wayfarer , I recollect this sweet saying *** Give contentment to that God given unloose the frown from thy forehead

For , the door of choice is not open to me and thee . *** In the smile of the rose , is no trace of the covenant of fidelity

O Bulbul lover ; bewail ; for it is the place of wail . *** O languid verse wherefore bearest thou envy towards Hafiz

God - given , are the acceptance of the heart ; and the grace of speech . ***
