deny it if you desire to caress the tresses of the beloved.

Additional quotes by Hafez

I have fallen in love with Someone
Who hides inside you.
We should talk about this problem — Otherwise,
I will never leave you alone.

"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."

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, and angel
Or even pure
Soul.

It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.
