Hafiz

I AM SO GLAD

Start seeing everything as God,
But keep it a secret.
Become like a man who is Awestruck
And Nourished

Listening to a Golden Nightingale

Sing in a beautiful foreign language
While God invisibly nests
Upon its tongue.

Hafiz,
Who can you tell in this world
That when a dog runs up to you
Wagging its ecstatic tail,
You lean down and whisper in its ear,

"Beloved,
I am so glad You are happy to see me.
Beloved, I am so glad,
So very glad You have come."
Hafiz
