In the deadly sweep Of every wave, A thousand dangers lie in wait.

Love demands patience, desire is restless; What color shall I paint the heart, until you savage it? You shall not ignore me when the time comes, I know, but I may turn to dust before the news reaches you.

Whoever can't see the whole in every part plays at blind man's bluff. A wise man tastes the entire Tigris in every sip.

I asked my soul: What is Delhi? She replied: The world is the body and Delhi its life!

This earth, burnished by hearing the name, is so certain of love,
that the sky bends unceasingly down, to greet its own light.

Consumed by the agony of remembrance The remembrance of night's festive company The one remaining candle flickers and dies.
