The Subject Tonight is Love - Hafiz
The subject tonight is Love
And for tomorrow night as well.
As a matter of fact
I know of no better topic
For us to discuss
Until we all
Die!

untitled - Nizar Qabbani

My lover asks me:

"What is the difference between me and the sky?"

The difference, my love,

Is that when you laugh,

I forget the sky.

Some Kiss We Want - Rumi 

There is some kiss we want with

our whole lives, the touch of

spirit on the body. Seawater

begs the pearl to break its shell.

And the lily, how passionately

it needs some wild darling! At

night, I open the window and ask

the moon to come and press its 

face against mine. Breathe into

me. Close the language-door and 

open the love window.The moon

won't use the door, only the 

window.

The Day Sky - Hafiz

Let us be like 

Two falling stars in the day sky.

Let no one know of our sublime beauty

As we hold hands with God

And burn

Into a sacred existence that defies -

That surpassess

Every description of ecstasy.
