I know the way you can get / When you have not had a drink of Love: / Your face hardens, / Your sweet muscles cramp. / Children become concerned / About a strange look that appears in your eyes / Which even begins to worry your own mirror / And nose.
HAFEZI 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.
