If King Jamshid's diamond cup breaks, that's it
One can sigh, but a lifetime is needed to finish it
When the Great One gestures to me
For tomorrow's sake, don't skimp with me on wine today.
I'm confused: should I cry over my heart, or slap my chest?
She has a habit of torture, but doesn't mean to end the love
For my weak heart this living in the sorrow house
Religious people are always praising the Garden of Paradise
Only a few faces show up as roses
I agree that I'm in a cage, and I'm crying
Each time I open my mouth, the Great One says
My heart is becoming restless again

I never lost as much but twice
Title divine-is mine!
There came a day at summer's full
It was not Death, for I stood up
After great pain, a formal feeling comes
I died for Beauty
I dwell in Possibility
I heard a Fly buzz-when I died
I live with Him-I see His face
My Life had stood-a Loaded Gun
Further in Summer than the Birds
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant-
