| The Apple of mine eye of nought Regardful but thy face is |
|
|
| Behold the new moon of Muherrem! Quick, call for the goblet of wine |
|
|
| He who did of rose and wild rose On thy cheek the hue bestow |
|
|
| The Huma of fairest fortune Into our snare befalleth |
|
|
| Cell-sitter Hafiz yestr'even The winehouse's guest's become |
|
|
| The Bride of the rose is come Again to the Feast of Spring |
|
|
| At dawntide, intent on repentance, "For guidance," quoth I, "I'll sue" |
|
|
| If ever it be vouchsafed me The hand in thy tress to twine |
|
|
| Bring, wind of the East, an thou chance By the country to fare of the Friend |
|
|
| Blest may the coming of the Feast, Cupbearer, be for thee |
