  quote: Open the gates and bid me see once more!
  summary: The passage presents several lyric sections in which Hafiz or a first-person
    speaker contrasts divine mercy, religious respectability, tavern imagery, music,
    wine, longing for a beloved, grief, death, and a plea for return and renewed sight.
    Images include the road, Kausar's wine and an earthly cup, the tavern, the beloved's
    face, a hidden weeping presence in the heart, a painted veil, a living flame in
    the heart, nightingale and rose, thorns, dust and tears, a camel-driver, a grave,
    a chessboard of Night and Day, and gates opened for sight.
