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.

More quotes by Hafez
The only friends who are free from cares are the goblet of wine and a book. Give me wine...that I may for a time forget the cares of the world.
Hafez
Grieve not because thou understand-not life's mystery behind the veil is concealed many a delight.
Hafez
Remember for just one minute of the day, it would be best to try looking upon yourself more as God does, for She knows your true royal nature.
Hafez
'Tis writ on Paradise's gate, Woe to the dupe that yields to fate!
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
The beauty of You delights me. The sight of You amazes me. For the Pearl does this... and the Ocean does that.
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
The world is a bride of surpassing beauty-but remember that this maiden is never bound to anyone.
Hafez
Woe to the dupe that yields to Fate!
Hafez
What is this precious love and laughter budding in our hearts? It is the glorious sound of a soul waking up!
Hafez
We don't need sugar, flour or rice or anything else. We just want to see our dear ones.
Hafez
We have come into this exquisite world to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom and light!
Hafez
True art awakens the Extraordinary Ovation
Hafez
Pulling out the chair beneath your mind And watching you fall upon God What else is there for Hafiz to do that is any fun in this world!
Hafez
I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through. Listen to this music.
Hafez
The earth has disappeared beneath my feet, It fled from all my ecstasy. Now like a singing air creature I feel the rose keep opening.
Hafez
The tide of my love Has risen so high let me flood over You.
Hafez
I rarely let the word NO escape from my mouth, because it is so plain to my soul that God has shouted, Yes! Yes! Yes! To every luminous movement in existence.
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
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.
Hafez
