I sit in the streets with the homeless
My clothes stained with the wine
From the vineyards the saints tend.
Light has painted all acts
The same color
So I sit around and laugh all day
With my friends.
At night if I feel a divine loneliness
I tear the doors off Love's mansion
And wrestle God onto the floor.
He becomes so pleased with Hafiz
And says, "Our hearts should do this more."
'The Gift - Poems by Hafiz The Great Sufi Master'
Translations by Daniel Ladinsky
