On the rank of profligates keep casting a glance better than this

To the door of the wine - house establish a thorough - fare better than this . *** This grace that in respect of me , thy lip displayeth

Is very good but make it a little better than this . *** To that one , whose thought looseneth the knot of difficulty of the world's work ,

Say In this subtlety of love make reflection better than this . *** If to that beautiful youth , my heart I give not , what shall I do

Time's mother hath not a youth better than this . *** To me , the admonisher spoke , saying : Save grief , what speciality hath love

I said O wise Khwaja it hath a skill better than this . *** Me , who speak , saying : The goblet , take ; and in drinking the cup's lip kiss

Hear , O beloved for , another speaketh not* better than this . *** The sweetest branch of the sugar - cane is Hafiz's reed . Pluck

For , in this garden , thou beholdest not a fruit better than this . ***
