More quotes by Hafez
A poet is someone Who can pour Light into a spoon, Then raise it To nourish Your beautiful parched, holy mouth.
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
Grieve not because thou understand-not life's mystery behind the veil is concealed many a delight.
Hafez
Plant a Seed so your Heart will Grow.
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
Now is the time to understand That all your ideas of right and wrong Were just a child's training wheelsTo be laid aside When you finally live With veracity And love.
Hafez
Everyone, whether he is self-denying or self-indulgent, is seeking after the Beloved. Every place may be the shrine of love, whether it be mosque or synagogue.
Hafez
I know you have a hundred complex cases against God in court, but never mind, let's just get out of this mess.
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
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
Not loving is a letting go. Listen, The terrain around here Is Far too Dangerous For That.
Hafez
There are different wells within your heart. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far too deep for that.
Hafez
Listen this world is the lunatic's sphere , Don't always agree it's real, Even with my feet upon it And the postman knowing my door My address is somewhere else.
Hafez
We don't need sugar, flour or rice or anything else. We just want to see our dear ones.
Hafez
Grieve not though the journey of life be bitter, and the end unseen, there is no road which does not lead to an end.
Hafez
Your life within God's arms, Your dance within God's arms, Is already Perfect!
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
The great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.
Hafez
I wish I could show you...the astonishing light of your own being.
Hafez
Love sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.
Hafez
