Nur Uddin

but has in it a great achievement

And is as brilliant as a young hyacinth;

I pour a ray of honey on my disciples,

There is as it were a fire in my ballades.

I have seen a small proud face brimming with sunlight.

From the Pus'hto (Afghans, nineteenth century).

COME, MY BELOVED!

Come, my beloved! And I say again: Come, my beloved!

The doves are moaning and calling and will not cease.
