316.1

کار بر عکس است ورنه خود که روز بد کشد

“ Prosperity is no assistance in our path We have recognized the Friend in another form, This breath of mine is a monument to love, For it is vapour which arises from my inward fervour. Fayzī on this incantation of thine How long wilt thou dilate? It is best that thou should'st bring thy tale to a close Before thou becomest, thyself, no more than a tale. O thou consumed with love, restrain thy breath, Have done with love's tale, have done!”
