When the heart experiences our connection to All That Is, words fail. Hafiz speaks from this moment.
From the book "The Subject Tonight is Love", 60 Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz
translated by Daniel Ladinsky

Old Sweet Beggar
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.
Now Hafiz is infinitely rich,
But all I ever want to do
Is keep emptying out
My emerald-filled
Pockets
Upon
This tear-stained
World.
