Since the presentation of skil...

Since the presentation of skill before the Beloved disrespect , is

The tongue , silent ; yet , the mouth full of eloquence of Arabia is . *** The Parl the Beloved concealed her face and the Div desires of Lust engaged in the glance of beauty .

Through amazement , Reason consumed , saying What Father of Wonders that every fair one , for whom the concealing of the face is proper , maketh glance , and giveth herself airs this is *** The reason , ask not why the cherisher of the mean , became the sphere ,

Whose design of giving , pretence without reason is . *** Hasan from Basra , Bilal from Habsh , Suhaib from Damascus arrived from distant parts , and embraced the Islam Faith

But Abu Jahal of the dust of glorious Maka rejected the Islam Faith What Father of Wonders this is . *** In this parterre the world none plucked the rose without the thorn .

So the glorious lamp of Mustafa the soul with the horrid flames of Abu Lahab imperious Lust is . *** For half a barley - corn , I purchase not the arch of the monastery and of the inn the place of worship of Abids , outward worshippers and of austerity of Zahids , sitting in the prayer - niche

Because for me , the tavern the stage of love and of divine knowledge is the palace ; and the foot of the jar the perfect Murshid , possessor of mysteries the pavilion the lofty building and impregnable shelter is . *** The beauty of the Daughter of the grape love is the light of our eye . Per - chance ,

In the veil of white glass the perfect Murshid and in the screen of the red grape the perfect Murshid it is . *** Now seek a remedy for thy pain in that ruby exhilarating draught ,

Which in the crystal goglet , and the glass of Halb Aleppo is . *** O Sir a thousand reasons and manners , I had

Now , that I am intoxicated and ruined , this my state , due to the invitation of one void of manners is . *** Bring wine for , as is the way of Hafiz , the asking God for aid always

In weeping in the morning - time , and in supplication at midnight is . ***
