Verses by Hafiz (Aukt.Sotheby's London, 5.4.2006, lot 96)
First register:
“In the eyes and brows of my beloved I confided heart and soul.
Come, come contemplate the arch and the window!
Say to the guardian of paradise: the dust of this meeting place [...]”
Second register:
“ [...] do not falter in your task, pour the wine into the cup!
Beyond your hedonism, your love for moon-faced beings,
Amongst the tasks that you accomplish, recite the
