Drink! For You Know Not Whence You

Awake, My Little Ones, And Fill The Cup Before Life's Liquor In Its Cup Be Dry.

The Moving Finger Writes; And, Having Writ, Moves On: Nor All Your Piety Nor Wit Shall Lure It Back To Cancel Half A Line, Nor All Your Tears Wash Out A Word Of It.

The Value Of Three Things Is Justly Appreciated By All Classes Of Men: Youth, By The Old; Health, By The Diseased; And Wealth, By The Needy.

It’s Too Bad If A Heart Lacks Fire, And Is Deprived Of The Light Of A Heart Ablaze. The Day On Which You Are Without Passionate Love Is The Most Wasted Day Of Your Life.

Why Ponder Thus The Future To Foresee, And Jade Thy Brain To Vain Perplexity? Cast Off Thy Care, Leave Allah’s Plans To Him – He Formed Them All Without Consulting Thee.
