My friend, let's not think of tomorrow, but let's enjoy this fleeting moment of life.

As far as you can avoid it, do not give grief to anyone. Never inflict your rage on another. If you hope for eternal rest, feel the pain yourself; but don’t hurt others.

Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!

I hide my distress, just likethe blessed birds hide themselveswhen they are preparing to die. Wine! Wine, roses, music and yourindifference to my sadness, my loved-one!

Thy Return is as another Sun to Heaven; a new Rose blooming in the Garden of the Soul.

The unbeliever knows his Koran best.

Heaven but the vision of fulfilled desire, and Hell the shadow from a soul on fire.
