The beloved said Forth , thou ...

The beloved said Forth , thou wentest for the spectacle of the new crescent moon

Thine , be shame of my crescent moon eye - brows that are more glorious go *** 'Tis a life time since , of the crowd of captives of our tress , thy heart was

Of keeping the side of thy friends , careless be not . *** For the blackness of the friend's tress , sell not the 'itr of reason

For , there , they sell a thousand musk - pods of musk for half a barley - corn . *** In this old sown - place this world the seed of fidelity and of love ,

At that time becometh manifest when arriveth the time of reaping . *** Saki wine bring for to thee , a mystery , I will tell ,

Of the mystery of the old star ; and of the wandering of the new moon . *** The end of every month , the waning form of the moon giveth trace ,

Of the end of the diadem of Siyamak , and of the abandoning of the crown of Zhu . *** Hafiz the threshold of the Pir of the magians is the fortress of fidelity

To him , read the lesson of love's tale and from him counsel hear . ***
