Additional quotes by Hafez

Would You Think It Odd? Would you think it odd if Hafiz said,
“I am in love with every church
And mosque
And temple
And any kind of shrine
Because I know it is there
That people say the different names
Of the One God.”
Would you tell your friends
I was a bit strange if I admitted I am indeed in love with every mind
And heart and body.
O I am sincerely
Plumb crazy
About your every thought and yearning
And limb Because, my dear,
I know
That it is through these
That you search for Him.

Someone Should Start Laughing I have a thousand brilliant lies
For the question:
How are you? I have a thousand brilliant lies
For the question:
What is God? If you think that the Truth can be known
From words, If you think that the Sun and the Ocean Can pass through that tiny opening
Called the mouth,
O someone should start laughing!
Someone should start wildly Laughing — Now!
