Bitteres zu sagen denkst du
Harsh things you'd like to say
Hafis/Persian
Harsh things you'd like to say,
But you can never hurt me
However cross you may well be.
Your biting tirades
Founder on a coral cliff
And turn to pure delight.
Before they can do damage
They must negotiate a lip
That is pure sweetness in itself.
