BEAUTIFUL WORDS

Friendship is reciprocated with betrayal
They require faithfulness along with treachery
Why do You inquire about the destiny of this miserable patient
Who is a play thing for the Healer
O thou who is dying of thirst, do not beg the river
Death is continous if love is accompanied with dignity
The poison and antidote are both in one cup
Flowers rain along with sparks
In the robe of success, failures are hidden
My destiny is asleep with a wakeful stride

Guess who is the writer of this ghazal?
