A description of the experience
Hafiz of Shiraz – Thirty Poems [translated by Peter Avery and John Heath-Stubbs
Here is a flower that lifts up a cup, like those whose worship is wine
And one with a jug, like the youth who pours out for the drunkards
Take your fill, like the rose, of revelry and all the lusts of youth
Hafiz – the messenger needs only deliver his message
