I heard a pleasant speech that the old man of Kin'an the Murshid uttered

Separation from want of acquisition of divine knowledge of the true Beloved God maketh not that which can be uttered . *** The tale of terror of the resurrection day , which the city - admonisher uttered

Is only a hint , which , of the time of separation , he uttered . *** Of whom , may I ask the trace of the Beloved , many a journey made , the absolute existence , God

For whatever the wind's messenger the man learned and excellent uttered , confusedly he uttered . *** With wine of many years , repel ye the old grief of the heart

For , the seed of happy - heartedness is this . It , the Pir of the village uttered . *** Alas that unkind moon , the Friend's enemy ,

For the abandoning the society of his own lovers , words how easily he uttered *** After this together are I and the stage of contentment , and thanks to my rival

For accustomed to pain by thee , my heart hath become and the abandonment of remedy uttered . *** Fix not a knot on the wind rely not on the world though , on thy object , it favourably blow ,

For to Sulaiman this speech , as a proverb , the wind , uttered . *** For a frivolous excuse that the sky may give thee , go not from the Path

Who told thee , that , the abandoning of tales , this old woman the sky uttered . *** Come and drink wine on that account that last night the Pir of the tavern ,

Many a tale of pardon of the Merciful and Compassionate uttered . *** As to how and why , express no breath . For the happy slave accepteth with

soul every word that the Sultan God uttered . *** From thought of thee , who said Hafiz hath come back

This , I have not said . He who uttered it , calumny uttered . ***
