Ability Quote by Hafez
“O pious of the heart, I am lost in a love, so great---O pain the hidden secrets will become open debate---Shipwrecked we just float, O favorable wind arise---May we one more time gaze upon that familiar trait---Passage of time and the stars, are but what we fantasize---For compassion and kindness, it is never too late---In the circle of wine and roses, nightingales song is prize---With the aroma and the wine your senses satiate---O Thou compassionate one, life giver and the wise---One day bestow thy grace upon this mendicants state---For peace of this world and the next, understand what I advise---Magnanimity the lot of friends, and with foes try to relate---In the land of repute, our passage they will dispute---If this will not suit, dont stay mute, and transmute dictates of fate---When destitute and in need, let your love and passion breed---Lifes alchemy, essence and seed, unimagined wealth shall create---If unruly with pride, with a candles zeal your flame will rise---Beloved turns stone to lava, and molten wax manipulate---The Grail contains but wine, if only you realize---Then the Kingdom of the world, at your feet prostrate---The good and wise Magi, forgivers of lives and lies---Bearer bring good news, drunkards wine consecrate---With this wine stained robe, Hafiz would never disguise---O untainted pure Master, exempt us from this fate”
