Long 'tis since message my fair Anywise sendeth

Long 'tis since message my fair Anywise sendeth,
Letter, to lighten our care, Anywise sendeth.

Letters an hundred I wrote; But never that proud one
Messenger, greeting to bear, Anywise sendeth.

Never a fawn-footed one, With gait like the partridge,
To wild beast-like me, wit a-scare, Anywise sendeth.

She knoweth my heart's bird would fain From hand go and yet
Of that handwriting chain-like no snare Anywise sendeth.

Alack, that that skinker sweet-lipped No cup of the grapejuice,
Though well of my sickness aware, Anywise sendeth!

Of merits and stages achieved However I boast me,
She news from no station soe'er Anywise sendeth.

Peace, Hafiz! No room for appeal There is, if no message
To bondmen the queen of the fair Anywise sendeth.
