If someone knows the translation could you let me know?  Google translate seems off…

“Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,
Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife
Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.”

— Hafiz, The Divan (via righteouswaxchaperone)
