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
When you can make others laugh with jokes that belittle no one and your words always unite, Hafiz will vote for you to be God.
Hafez
We don't need sugar, flour or rice or anything else. We just want to see our dear ones.
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
Start seeing everything as God, But keep it a secret
Hafez
You yourself are your own obstacle, rise above yourself.
Hafez
All these words are just a front. What I would really like to do is chain you to my body, then sing for days & days & days.
Hafez
