People say that the soul, on hearing the song of creation, entered the body, but in reality the soul itself was the song.
HafezIf, like the prophet Noah, you have patience in the distress of the flood, Calamity turns aside, and the desire of a thousand years comes forth.
HafezThe world is like an eye, a beard, a spot of beauty and eyebrow, Where each thing is neatly in place.
HafezThe only friends who are free from cares are the goblet of wine and a book. Give me wine...that I may for a time forget the cares of the world.
Hafez
