The following verses are also by him:— “Why does not fate shed my blood where thou art not? It would seem that this is beyond the power of fate.” The words which fell from her lips were brief, and I could not understand them, The down around her lips is a marginal commentary brief enough. In travelling the road of love for thee I arrived at no stage At which I did not find that the pain of love for thee had preceded me.” ing to another account the year of his death was A.H. 1001 (A.D. 1592-93), and if this be accepted as correct the word jahil (‘ignorant’) substituted for the word ablah (‘fool’) will give the correct date: Since thou art ignorant grieve not if they call thee fool, For these two expressions are synonymous.
