HAFEZThere is an ambush everywhere from the army of accidents; therefore the rider of life runs with loosened reins.
HAFEZThe world is a bride of surpassing beauty-but remember that this maiden is never bound to anyone.
HAFEZCome in, my dear from that harsh world that has rained elements of stone upon your tender face. Every soul should receive a toast from us for bravery!
HAFEZLet tenderness pour from your eyes, the way sun gazes warmly on earth.
HAFEZYour separation from God is the hardest work you will ever do.
HAFEZWoe to the dupe that yields to Fate!
HAFEZNow is the time to know that all that you do is sacred Now is the time for you to deeply compute the impossibility that there is anything but grace.
HAFEZI wish I could show you the astonishing light of your own being.
HAFEZCome, for the House of Hope is built on sand: bring wine, for the fabric of life is as weak as the wind.
HAFEZIf, like the prophet Noah, you have patience in the distress of the flood, Calamity turns aside, and the desire of a thousand years comes forth.
HAFEZThe great religions are the ships, Poets the life boats. Every sane person I know has jumped overboard.
HAFEZWords have no language which can utter the secrets of love; and beyond the limits of expression is the expounding of desire.
HAFEZGrieve not; though the journey of life be bitter, and the end unseen, there is no road which does not lead to an end.
HAFEZWe have not come here to take prisoners But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy.
HAFEZOnly heart to heart can speak the bliss of mystic knowers.
HAFEZHow Do I Listen to others? As if everyone were my Master Speaking to me His Cherished Last Words.
