It heard a hundred things but could not return there.

Why should we inscribe his image on our hearts?

If we don't sacrifice our heads, let's uproot it.

For a long time, I have not seen your face.

"Hafiz" ~ The Ambience of Love ~ Sufi Mystics

Description: A selection of mystical poems rendered by Daniel Ladinsky in the style of Hafiz from Daniel Ladinsky's book - "I heard God Laughing." .

*** Please be aware of the issue around Daniel Ladinsky's translations of "Hafiz." According to Omid Safi, (Islamic Studies Professor at Duke University), Ladinsky's poems "have no earthly connection to what the historical Hafiz of Shiraz, the Persian sage, ever said. He is making it up. He admitted that they are not "translations", or "accurate", or has any knowledge of Persian in his 1996 book "I heard God laughing." Ladinsky actually states that Hafez appeared to him in a dream and handed him the ENGLISH “translations” he’s publishing."

Hafez Poetry - Stop Being so Religious Like That | Sufi Meditations from the Divan of Hafiz Shirazi

Description: Immerse yourself in the timeless wisdom and spiritual depth of Hafez, a 14th-century Persian poet from the beautiful city of Shiraz, Iran. In this video, we explore the essence of his powerful words and poetic philosophy. Hafez's poetry is deeply rooted in Sufi mysticism, reflecting universal love and a profound connection with the divine.

Throughout his poetry, Hafez invokes an inclusive and transcendent view of spirituality, demonstrating that the divine exists beyond the boundaries of traditional religious doctrines and institutions. He suggests that every church, mosque, temple, and shrine are simply different ways humans try to connect with the same universal divine power.

Hafez beautifully challenges the religious status quo, proposing that the ultimate truth has shared itself so freely and thoroughly with him that he can no longer categorize himself within the traditional religious or even human boundaries. His words highlight the transformative power of love, suggesting that when love befriends us completely, it can free us from every preconceived notion we've ever held.

His profound verses encourage us to forgo superficial religious formalities and to instead seek a direct, heartfelt connection with the divine. In this sense, Hafez guides us to perceive the divinity that exists within each person, urging us to listen attentively and respectfully to one another as if each person is the divine speaking to us.

The essence of Hafez's wisdom suggests that genuine happiness begins when we stop adhering rigidly to religious doctrines and instead seek to connect with the divine that resides within us and in all of creation. His poetry extends an open invitation to a divine dance - a celebration of the universal love and divinity inherent in every soul.

By embracing Hafez's profound spiritual insights, we're encouraged to acknowledge that the soul trusts in something greater and that it is our task to reclaim our inherent divine nature.

In this video, we delve deeper into these concepts and explore the wisdom of Hafez's poetry. So, join us on this journey of discovery and remember, "We are people who need to love, because love is the soul’s life, love is simply creation's greatest joy."

The Ecstasy of Fondness - Hafez

Description: Hafez, one of the greatest and most beloved of Sufi poets, is a paragon of softness, passion and mesmerising poetry. Here, Richard Rudd takes a playful approach to Hafez, using his Divan (the collected poems) as it is used in modern day Iran – as an oracle to guide us in a journey into love. Crafted over several months, this monologue takes some radical twists and turns as the spirit of Hafez appears in Richard’s life, weaving friendship, revelation and unexpected synchronicity into a canvas of insight and intrigue. The completed monologue was sent to Iran where a living Setar Master recorded the beautiful soundtrack over the words.

Who is Hafez? Persian Poems with Translation (حافظ شیرازی)

Description: Who is the Original Lisan ul Ghaib?
No one talked about hypocrisy and duplicity better than Hafez.

Khwāje Shams-od-Dīn Moḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī (Persian: خواجه شمس‌‌الدین محمّد حافظ شیرازی), known by his pen name Hafez (حافظ, Ḥāfeẓ, 'the memorizer; the (safe) keeper'; 1325–1390) and as "Hafiz",[ was a Persian lyric poet, whose collected works are regarded by many Iranians as a pinnacle of Persian literature. His works are often found in the homes of people in the Persian-speaking world, who learn his poems by heart and use them as everyday proverbs and sayings. His life and poems have become the subjects of much analysis, commentary and interpretation, influencing post-14th century Persian writing more than any other Persian author.

Hafez is best known for his Divan of Hafez, a collection of his surviving poems probably compiled after his death. His works can be described as "antinomian" and with the medieval use of the term "theosophical"; the term "theosophy" in the 13th and 14th centuries was used to indicate mystical work by "authors only inspired by the holy books" (as distinguished from theology). Hafez primarily wrote in the literary genre of lyric poetry or ghazals, that is the ideal style for expressing the ecstasy of divine inspiration in the mystical form of love poems. He was a Sufi.
