To meet Annihilation's sword is the most happy lot

That man can gain, for all the joys of earth has he forgot.

A Muslim on the path of Love beside a Kafir trod,

And one forgot the Kaaba, one the Temple of his God.

DAGH.

[XVII.]

What happiness is to the lover left

Of peace bereft,

What freedom for his captive heart remains

Held in her chains?
