Long time I told my friends my bitter grief,

And in the telling sought to find relief;

In silence now instead I take my rest,

And find that peace and loneliness are best.

MIR TAQI.

[XXXI.]

Wherever the Belovéd looks she stirs

Trouble and longing sore and eager breath

And deep desire in all her worshippers,

And some for her have drunk the cup of Death.
