Quotes of Hafiz of Shiraz

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
No one can keep us from carrying God Wherever we go.
     
    *

      Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude
      For life.
     
    *

      If you are drinking wine or sitting in the garden with roses
      Instead of seeking the Beloved, then you are wasting time.
     
    *

      Follow my tracks in the sand that lead
      Beyond thought and space.
     
    *

      Why ever talk of miracles
      When you are destined to become
      Infinite love.
     
    *

      We do not have to leave him (god) in the mosque
      Or church alone at night.
     
    *

      My life is like a candle that has burned all night, and has burned away:
      And like the burned moth, I will not rest until I see the light of day.
     
    *

      God and I are rushing
      From every corner of existence, needing to say,
      "We are yours."
     
    *

      Jealousy
      And most all of your sufferings
      Are from believing
      You know better than God.
     
    *
 No one, not even Hafiz, can describe with words the Great    Mystery.
 No one knows in which shell the priceless pearl does hide.
     
    *

      Love has
      Befriended Hafiz so completely
      It has turned to ash
      And freed
      Me
     
    *

      This
      Path to God
      Made me such an old sweet beggar.
      I was starving until one night
      My love tricked God Himself
      To fall into my bowl. ........Neelanjan
