Man of self
Man of self , lifed up with endless pride ,
We forgive thee-for love to thee is denied .
Hover not round the raving lover's haunts ;
Take thy "reason supreme" for goal and guide !
What of love's drunken frenzy know that brain
That the grape's earthly juice alone hath plied ?
Get a moon-love , and teach thy heart to strive ,
Though thy fame , like a sun , be spread world-wild .
Tis the white face, the anguish-burdened sigh,
Tell the secrets the heart of love would hide .
Let the bowl clear the fumes that rack the brain ;
HAFEZ , drink deep , and name and fame be defied
