“Some Like It Hot”

~ Robert Palmer

"Disheveled hair, sweaty, smiling, drunken, and/ With a torn shirt, singing, the jug in hand/ Narcissus loudly laments, on his lips, alas, alas!/ Last night at midnight, came and sat right by my bed-stand/ Brought his head next to my ears, with a sad song/ Said, O my old lover, you are still in dreamland/ The lover who drinks this nocturnal brew/ Infidel, if not worships the wine's command/ Go away O hermit, fault not the drunk/ Our Divine gift from the day that God made sea and land/ Whatever He poured for us in our cup, we just drank/ If it was a cheap wine or heavenly brand/ The smile on the cup's face and Beloved's hair strand/ Break many who may repent, just as Hafiz falsely planned."

                                            Hafiz
