Drink, hear my counsel, my son, that the world fret thee not

Drink, hear my counsel, my son, that the world fret thee not.
Tho' the heart bleed, let thy lips laugh, like the wine cup:
Is thy soul hurt, yet dance with the viol-strings:
Thou learnest no secret, until thou knowest friendship,
Since to the unsound no heavenly knowledge comes in.
Hafiz
