Selected quotes and poems of Hafiz of Persia



Even after all this time,
the sun never says to the earth:
" You owe me. "
Look what happens with a love
like that. It lights the whole sky.

One regret, dear world,
That I am determined
not to have
When I am lying on my
deathbed
Is that
I did not kiss you enough

Fear is the cheapest room
in the house.
I would like to see you living
in better conditions.

Now
That
All your worry
Has proved such an
Unlucrative
Business,
Why
Not
Find a better
Job

When no one is looking,
I swallow deserts and clouds
and chaw mountains
Knowing they are sweet bones!
When no one is looking
and I want to kiss God,
I just lift my own hand to my mouth.

This place where you are right now
God circled on a map for you

Run my dear,
From anything
That may not strengthen
your precious budding wings.

Stay close to anything that
makes you glad you are alive

An awake heart is like a sky
that pours light

I have enough of loss,
enough of gain; I have my Love,
what more can I obtain

I wish I could show you when you are
lonely or in darkness the astonishing
light of your own being.
