Dealing Out Glances

Since Thou has opened house in our city as dealer in amorous glances,
 Deal out glances, like light, with closed lips. 
I hold my peace and keep the unworthy in the dark;
 Thou art all that is worthy; the mystery is veiled from me.
 Come, like the Sun of Tabriz, towards the East;
 See the star of victory and the conqueror's banner!
Selected Poems from the Divani Shamsi Tabriz Edited and Translated by R. A. Nicholson
