More quotes by 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
The tide of my love Has risen so high let me flood over You.
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
Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun
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
Poetry reveals that there is no empty space.
Hafez

Hafez
Now that all your worry has proved such an unlucrative business. Why not find a better job.
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
Not loving is a letting go. Listen, The terrain around here Is Far too Dangerous For That.
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
Every desire of your body is holy Every desire of your body is Holy.
Hafez
The beauty of You delights me. The sight of You amazes me. For the Pearl does this... and the Ocean does that.
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
Now is the time to know that all that you do is sacred.
Hafez
Dear Ones, Beware of the tiny gods frightened men Create To bring anesthetic relief to their sad days
Hafez
