Two Integral Offerings of Words:
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
-Hafiz

Just as a normal man can climb
A high mountain
And on a clear day
See for many miles around,
Hafiz can stand on a blessed peak
Inside his heart
And see for hundreds of years
In all directions
And I tell you, dear ones,
That the Saheb-e-Zaman
The Christ
The Prophet
The Ancient One
Has made a date to Whirl,
To Whirl
With this Earth Again
-Hafiz
