Hafiz

“The lover's scent reaches further than the merchant's coin.”

“Hafiz, your verses are the keys to the Friend's house.”

“Open them with the trembling of love.”

“In the rose-garden of the heart, the cypress and the nightingale are one.”

“Hafiz, when the Friend speaks, the world stands still.”

“The lover's heart is a thousand mirrors — each shows the Beloved's face.”

“O moth, do not blame the candle for the burning.”

“Hafiz, in the lane of love, no traveler returns the same.”

“The wound is where the Light enters you.”

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”

“Forget yourself completely, then listen.”
