Amazing life Quote by Hafez
“O beautiful wine-bearer, bring forth the cup and put it to my lips path of love seemed easy at first, what came was many hardships With its perfume, the morning breeze unlocks those beautiful locks The curl of those dark ringlets, many hearts to shreds strips In the house of my Beloved, how can I enjoy the feast Since the church bells call the call that for pilgrimage equips With wine color your robe, one of the old Magis best tips Trust in this travelers tips, who knows of many paths and trips The dark midnight, fearful waves, and the tempestuous whirlpool How can he know of our state, while ports house his unladen ships I followed my own path of love, and now I am in bad repute How can a secret remain veiled, if from every tongue it drips If His presence you seek, Hafiz, then why yourself eclipse Stick to the One you know, let go of imaginary trips”
