I wish I could speak like divine music.  I want to give you the sublime rhythms
Of this earth and the sky's limbs.  As they joyously spin and surrender,
Surrender
Against God's luminous breath.  Hafiz wants you to hold me
Against your precious
Body and dance,
Dance.

-- Hafiz

 

I wish I could speak like music.  I wish I could put the swaying splendor
Of the fields into words so that you could hold Truth
Against your body
And dance.  I am trying the best I can
With this crude brush, the tongue, to cover you with light.

-- Hafiz

 

What a wonderful lotus it is, that blooms at the heart of the spinning wheel of the universe!  
Only a few pure souls know of its true delight.  
Music is all around it, and there the heart partakes of the joy of the Infinite Sea.  Kabir says:  "Dive thou into that Ocean of sweetness:  thus let all errors of life and of death flee away."

-- Kabir

 

There the whole sky is filled with sound, and there that music is made without fingers and without strings;
There the game of pleasure and pain does not cease.
Kabir says:  "If you merge your life in the Ocean of Life, you will find your life in the Supreme Land of Bliss."

-- Kabir
