Hafiz

Hafiz Poems Set to Music:
... Loving You this way is driving me mad,
for already I talk to the moon
and see angels in my sleep…
​

​- Hafiz

Translated by Thomas Rain Crowe
​
Zero
Is where the real fun starts
There’s too much counting
Everywhere else!


- Hafiz

​
I am happy even before I have a reason.
I am full of Light even before the sky
Can greet the sun or the moon.
Dear companions,
We have been in love with God
For so very, very long.
​What can Hafiz now do but
Forever 
Dance!


-Hafiz

Hafiz 
1320-1390

Hafiz was a mystic Persian poet born around 1320 in Shiraz, Iran. His poetic themes include divine love and spirituality.

At the age of 60, out of longing to reunite with his Creator, Hafiz began a 40-day spiritual vigil sitting in a circle he had drawn. The 40th day of the vigil was the 40th anniversary of meeting his Master, Attar. He went to Attar that day and attained God-realization.
​

Hafiz’s poetry is regarded as a pinnacle of Persian literature and is frequently used in traditional Persian music, art, and calligraphy.
