The Sea of Love a sea is, Whereunto shore is not
The sea of Love a sea is, Whereunto shore is not;
There, saving soul-surrender, Resource in store is not.
Affright us not with Reason's Forbidments, but bring wine:
With us in credit yonder Apparitor is not.
Each moment that thou givest The heart to Love is good;
Need, in good works, of praying, Direction for, is not.
Ask thou thine eye who slew us O soul of mine, the blame
For this to lay at Heaven's Or Fortune's door is not.
Thy face with pure eyes only, New-moon like, can one see:
That full moon cheek's unveiling Each eye before is not.
Hold thou the way of toping For gain; for, like the track
Of hidden treasure, patent To all this lore is not.
Unmoved of Hafiz' weeping Art thou: at that thy heart
I marvel, which than granite Less hard of core is not.
There, saving soul-surrender, Resource in store is not.
Affright us not with Reason's Forbidments, but bring wine:
With us in credit yonder Apparitor is not.
Each moment that thou givest The heart to Love is good;
Need, in good works, of praying, Direction for, is not.
Ask thou thine eye who slew us O soul of mine, the blame
For this to lay at Heaven's Or Fortune's door is not.
Thy face with pure eyes only, New-moon like, can one see:
That full moon cheek's unveiling Each eye before is not.
Hold thou the way of toping For gain; for, like the track
Of hidden treasure, patent To all this lore is not.
Unmoved of Hafiz' weeping Art thou: at that thy heart
I marvel, which than granite Less hard of core is not.
