Hafez (poetry reading) | May I remember always

May I remember always when
Your glance in secrecy met mine,
And in my face your love was like
A visibly reflected sign.

May I remember always when
Your chiding eyes were like my death
And your sweet lips restored my life
Like Jesus's reviving breath.

May I remember always when
We drank our wine as darkness died,
My friend and I, alone at dawn,
Though God was there too, at our side.

May I remember always when
Your face was pleasure's flame, and my
Poor fluttering heart was like a moth
That's singed and is about to die.

May I remember always when
The company that we were in
Was so polite, and when it seemed
Only the wine would wink and grin!

May I remember always when
Our goblet laughed with crimson wine
What tales passed back and forth between
Your ruby lips, my dear, and mine!

May I remember always when
I was a canopy unfurled
That shaded you, and you were like
The new moon riding through the world.

May I remember always when
I sat and drank in wine-shops where
What I can't find in mosques today
Accompanied the drinkers there.

May I remember always when
'The jewels of verse Hafez selected
Were set out properly by you,
Arranged in order, and corrected.
