A heart - alluring subtlety , ...

A heart - alluring subtlety , I utter , The mole of that one moon of face , behold .

Bound with the chain of that tress , my reason and soul behold , *** My heart , I censured , saying : One of bestial , or one of desert , nature , be not ;

It said The eye half intoxicated of the bold one of that deer the true Beloved behold *** The ring of His tress is the spectacle - place of the morning breeze

There , bound by every hair of His the soul of a hundred persons possessed of heart , Sufis behold . *** Careless of our heart - ravisher , are the Abids worshippers of the sun

O reproach - utterer for God's sake , the face of my true Beloved behold and not the face of the sun behold . *** Over the limbs of the sun in envy of that one moon of face the true Beloved the trembling behold

On account of that tress of ambergris perfume , blood of envy in the liver of the musk - pod behold . *** The ligature on the wind's neck , His tress , heart - stealing , placed

Against the desirers of the Path , the Hindu's snare the dark tress behold . *** That one , in whose search , I of myself went astray ,

Like Him , none hath seen , nor will see every quarter behold . *** O sky away from the purpose of king Mansur , thy face turn not

The keenness of his sword , behold the power of his arm , behold . *** If , in the corner of the prayer - arch of the Beloved's eye - brow Hafiz rub his face , it is lawful ;

O reproach - utterer for God's sake , that curve of the eye - brow behold . ***
