Additional quotes by Hafez

Fear not to follow with pious feet the corpse of Hafiz, for though he was drowned in the ocean of sin, he may find a place in paradise.

THE SUN NEVER SAYS Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth, “You owe
Me.” Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky.

For Hafiz reveals a God with a billion I.Q. — a God that would never cripple us with guilt or control us with fear.
