I am happy even before I have a reason.

Most speaking really says, "I am hungry to know you."

Hafiz, Because of Our Wisdom

[belovedapollo]

my mum came back from Iran and I went to pick her up with a bouquet of lilies and eucalyptus, her favorites, that I put together myself, the past two weeks have felt like a rollercoaster and a nightmare at the same time - she came back with a copy of Hafez, a handmade necklace with the fingerprint of my grandma, a pack of gums and some feathers from my grandmas parrot and I’m thankful that despite everything she thought about me and took some pieces of my other home to me

disclaimer: the feathers are not picked from the bird himself, those are the feathers he shed when new ones were growing

as always: all pics mine, reblog is okay, don’t repost/use

[thepreciouspurrsian]

در نظربازیِ ما بی‌خبران حیرانند / من چُنینم که نمودم دگر ایشان دانند

عاقلان نقطهٔ پرگارِ وجودند ولی / عشق داند که در این دایره سرگردانند

In the game of perception, the ignorant stand amazed / I am as I have shown, yet now they know my ways.

The sages are the compass points of existence / Yet love alone knows we wander lost within this maze.

Hafez / حافظ

The night is dark, the waves are fierce, and the whirlpool is terrifying,

How can those on the shore, who travel light, know our plight?

(Hafez Shirazi)

شب تاریک و بیم موج و گردابی چنین هایل

کجا دانند حال ما سبکباران ساحل‌ها؟

[majestativa]

I never really cared for the things of this world. It was the glow of Your Presence that filled it with beauty.

[amokedas]

I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The Truth has shared so much of Itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure Soul. Love has befriended me so completely it has turned to ash and freed me of every concept and image my mind has ever known.

Hafez
