Book in this metre
This page shows only poems in the metre مفتعلن مفاعلن مفتعلن مفاعلن (رجز مثمن مطوی مخبون).
Thou who didst make more ardent my sighing and my tears, O let my anthem quicken dust of a thousand years.
On faith and infidelity O scatter wide Thy Clemency; at last the veil of darkness raise from the full splendour of Thy Face.
It is the season of the spring and nightingales are carolling; O smile on me, and chant a song, and freely pass the wine along.
Rise! And upon the thirsty land sprinkle life’s wine with lavish hand; kindle anew the spirit’s fire, and bid the flame in us expire.
All that in life I love the best is the sweet fever of Thy quest; the way is like an adder’s sting, be not to thee my wayfaring.
Far, far from every other go with the One Friend upon the road; seek thou of God thy self to know, and seek in selfhood for thy God.
Leave no quarter to resist to this restless heart of mine give Thy curls another twist, let Thy tresses intertwine.
How long the veil of eve and dawn about Thy beauty shall be drawn? Thy cheek display: make whole to me this incomplete epiphany.
