And some day

It will begin to happen
Again on earth -

That men and women who are married,
And men and men who are
Lovers,

And women and women
Who give each other
Light,
Often will get down on their knees

And while so tenderly
Holding their lover's hand,

With tears in their eyes,
Will sincerely speak, saying,

'My dear,
How can I be more loving to you;

How can I be more
Kind?”
― شمس الدین محمد حافظ شیرازی

“ای همه کار تو مطبوع و همه جای تو خوش
دلم از عشوه شرین شکرخای تو خوش
همچو گلبرگ طری هست وجود تو لطیف
همچو سرو چمنی هست سراپای تو خوش
هم گلستان خیالم ز تو پرنقش و نگار
هم مشام دلم از زلف سمن‌سای تو خوش
شیوه ناز تو شیرین خط و خال تو ملیح
چشم وابروی توزیبا قدوبالای تو خوش
پیش چشم تو بمیرم که بدان بیماری
می‌کند درد مرا از رخ زیبای تو خوش
در ره عشق که از سیل فنا نیست گذار
می‌کنم خاطر خودرا به تمنای تو خوش
در بیابان طلب گرچه ز هرسو خطر است
می‌رود حافظ بیدل به تولای تو خوش”
― Hafez
