The rules of right and wrong Simply do not apply to those in love. The ones enamoured by fair cheeks and raven hair Are careless of doctrine and dogma. The greatest joy for me Is to drink the draught the lover serves, For wine to cleanse my greenish cloak Of all religious show. The world may consider it a disgrace to drink, But I have trampled my reputation underfoot. For those besotted by love Nothing is forbidden. There’s no distinction between ruby and pebble, Halal or haram*, faith or unbelief. A permissible passion has swept Over me. *’Halal means permitted; ‘haram’ means forbidden. — Rahman Baba
