“May I remember always when
Your glance in secrecy was mine,
And in my face your love was like
A visibly reflected sign.
May I remember always when
Your chiding eyes were like my death
And your sweet lips restored my life
Like Jesus’s reviving breath.
May I remember always when
We drank our wine as darkness died,
My friend and I, alone at dawn,
Though God was there too, at our side.
May I remember always when
Your face was pleasure’s flame, and my
Poor fluttering heart was like a moth
That’s singed and is about to die.”
― Faces of Love: Hafez and the Poets of Shiraz
