90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

May I remember always when,
Your glance in secrecy met mine,
And in my face your love was like
A visibly reflected sign.

May I remember always when,
Your chiding eyes were like my death,
And your sweet lips restored my life,
Like Jesus's reviving breath.

May I remember always when,
We drank our wine as darkness died,
My friend and I, alone at dawn,
Though God was there too, at our side.

About the Author

Hafez (c. 1315-1390) was a 14th-century poet from the city of Shiraz, Iran. Renowned for his lyrical poetry, particularly his ghazals, he remains among the most celebrated of the Persian poets and his influence is widely felt to this day.
