Bitter Dolor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADDEEFFGHIB J| In its beak a nightingale had a roseleaf of exquisite color | A |
| And on that pleasant food it nourished on some bitter dolor | A |
| I asked 'Wherefore lament and cry despite this union fair ' | B |
| He said 'In this the beauty of the Beloved do I share ' | B |
| If the true Beloved sat not with us there is no room for grievance | C |
| A prosperous King was He and the beggars He held in abhorrence | C |
| Our pleas and cries affect not the Friend endowed with beauty rare | A |
| Happy he who for the beloved and the fortune of prosperity doth care | A |
| Arise So that to the reed of the painter we may give away our all | D |
| This wonderful picture in the revolution of the compass doth fall | D |
| If thou seek the path of love think not of ill reputation | E |
| San'an his religious garment pawned at the tavern sans disputation | E |
| Happy the time of that gentle kalander who on the path | F |
| The rosary of the King in the zunnar Christian girdle hath | F |
| Behold in HAFIZ's eyes which wait | G |
| His huri's palace roof below | H |
| A figure of the 'garden grove | I |
| 'The streams of which beneath it flow ' | B |
