Tulip in the Desert: A Selection of the Poetry of Muhammad IqbalMcGill-Queen's Press - MQUP, 16/03/2000 - 184 من الصفحات An exploration and selection of the poetry of one of Persia's most influential poets. From The Houri and the Poet From the spark I seek star, from the star a sun: For if I stop, I die When I get up, having quaffed A cup of wine brewed by one spring breeze, Longing for yet another spring. I seek the end of that which hs no end -- With a restless eye, with a hopeful heart. The lover's heart dies in an eternal heaven -- I it no cry of a soul in affliction no sorrow, and no one to drive away sorrow |
