Ghazaliat of Hafez Ghazal 077
Description: Ghazal 077 from Divan of Hafez
A nightingale held a sweet-colored rose petal in its beak,
And within that leaf and song, there were mournful laments.
I asked it, "What is this wailing and crying in the midst of union?"
It said, "The manifestation of the beloved has this effect on us."
If the beloved doesn't sit with us, there's no reason to complain,
A victorious king is ashamed of begging.
Our needs and coquetry don't impress the beauty of the friend,
Happy is he who has a fortunate lot with the beloved.
Arise, let's sacrifice our lives for the pen of that artist,
For all these wondrous designs were created with a compass.
If you are a disciple of the path of love, don't worry about a bad reputation,
The Sheikh of San'an pawned his robe for a winehouse.
It's time for that sweet Qalandar, who in his wandering ways,
Had the remembrance of the angels' rosary within his girdle.
Hafez's eye, under the roof of that heavenly-created beauty,
Had the manner of the Gardens of Paradise beneath which rivers flow.

Cast aside the veil.. Attar
Description: Persian poet, Sufi, theoretician of mysticism, and hagiographer,
was born in
Nishapur, a city in the northeast region of Iran. Attar is one of the most famous mystic poets of Iran. His works were the inspiration of Rumi and many other mystic poets. Ättar, along with Sanai were two of the greatest influences on Rumi in his Sufi views. Rumi has mentioned both of them with the highest esteem several times in his poetry. Rumi praises Attar as follows:
Attar has roamed through the seven cities of love while we have barely turned down the first street.
Cast aside the veil.
Tear aside the veils of all you see in this world and you will find yourself apart in solitude with God.
If you draw aside the veils of the stars and the spheres, you will see that all is one with the Essence of your own pure soul. If you will but tear aside the veil, you will become pure, as He is pure.
Cast aside the veil from existence and non-existence and you will see forthwith the true meaning of God's purpose.
When you have cast aside the veil, you will see the Essence and all things will be shown forth within the Essence.
If you draw aside the veil from the Face of the Beloved, all that is hidden will be made manifest and you will become one with God, for then will you be the very Essence of the Divine.
