More quotes by Hafez
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.
Hafez
What do sad people have in common? It seems they have all built a shrine to the past and often go there and do a strange wail and worship. What is the beginning of Happiness? It is to stop being so religious like that.
Hafez
Grieve not because thou understand-not life's mystery behind the veil is concealed many a delight.
Hafez
The tide of my love Has risen so high let me flood over You.
Hafez
I do not feel like writing verses but as I light my perfume burner with myrrh and jasmine incense, they suddenly burgeon from my heart, like flowers in a garden.
Hafez
On the holy boughs of the Celestial Tree High up in the heavenly fields, Beyond terrestrial desire My soul-bird a warm nest has built.
Hafez
Speak but little, and that little only when thy own purposes require it. Heaven has given thee two ears but only one tongue, which means: listen to two things, but be not the first to propose one.
Hafez
Do not surrender your grief so quickly Let it cut more deeply Let it ferment and season you As few human or divine ingredients can Something is missing in my heart tonight That has made my eyes so soft And my voice so tender And my need of God so absolutely clear.
Hafez
Dear Ones, Beware of the tiny gods frightened men Create To bring anesthetic relief to their sad days
Hafez
You ache with loneliness one night so much you weep and I say 'here is a rope tie it around me Hafiz will be your companion for life'.
Hafez
Love is simply creation's greatest joy.
Hafez
How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all of its beauty? It felt the encouragement of Light against its being otherwise we all remain too frightened.
Hafez
Poetry reveals that there is no empty space.
Hafez
Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.
Hafez
How seamless seemed love and then came trouble!
Hafez
The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.- Robert Frost Now that all your worry has proved such an unattractive business - why not find a better job?
Hafez
The small man builds cages for everyone he knows While the sage, who has to duck his head when the moon is low, Keeps dropping keys all night long For the beautiful rowdy prisoners.
Hafez
Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun
Hafez
Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
Hafez
For I have learned that every heart will get What it prays for Most.
Hafez
