From hand my heart goeth: help! help! Ye pious! By all that's Divine!
|
|
|
If thou with kindness calls us, Pure grace it on thy part is
|
|
|
There's none who fallen victim Unto thy tress is not
|
|
|
Except the love of moonfaced maids, This heart of mine a way takes not
|
|
|
In her face's time no lover Inclination for the mead hath
|
|
|
There gleamed out a star and straightway The gathering's moon's become
|
|
|
O East, by the Loved One's dwelling To fare deny thou not
|
|
|
A Sojourn of peace and safety, Sheer wine and a loving friend
|
|
|
In the Magians' stead the very Light of God I see
|
|
|
To the courtiers of the Sultan Who will bear this prayer for me?
