Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Listen Saqui please pass around the cup Let’s drink the wine of ecstacy well up For Love seems so easy at first glance But problems come, for such is fate and chance. Much blood boils in the hearts of Lovers’ fear Awaiting scent from the navel of the deer, Which the cool breath of red dawn shall soon set free The forelock of the Friend for all to see, His musky curls are tossing like the sea. How in the heart of my Beloved’s peace Can I enjoy soft comfort and fair ease ? When the bell for ringing the camel’s climb Relentlessly doth sound its urgent chime. So dip your prayer rug deep in ruby wine When your Magian Teacher gives the sign . For the true traveller understands the way And never fails the Tavern, due fees to pay , The keeper demands his cash anew each day. The night is black the waves are full of threat, The whirlpool whirling is on destruction set. How could light-loaded land lubbers know my state Every selfish act conspired with fate To ruin my pristine reputation Fuel gossip and foolish disputation. Oh Hafiz never desert your Faithful Friend ! When once you have glimpsed Him this is the end Renounce the World, all things on His fire do send. _________ BT Broadband - Free modem offer, sign up online today and save £80 http://bt..co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
