Unto us the bird of Fortune Yet its way belike shall make |
|
|
Lo, at dawning wakeful Fortune To my bed hath come |
|
|
O Lord, in the street of the winehouse What clamour at day there was! |
|
|
The East wind, at the break of day, A waft from the Friend's tress hath broughten |
|
|
If union with thee vouchsafed To me of the sky shall be |
|
|
Hail to Shiraz and its station past compare! |
|
|
In quest of the garden of roses At dawn-tide in hope I went |
|
|
Though fraught is the breeze with the scent of the rose And the season of joyance here is |
|
|
In my bosom's pleasance-chamber Hid an idol fair I hold |
|
|
Rail not at the topers, zealots Clean-created, rind and core |
|
