l

Every child has known God,
Not the God of names,
Not the God of don'ts,
Not the God who ever does Anything weird,
But the God who knows only four words.
And keeps repeating them, saying:
“Come Dance with Me , come dance.”


Hafiz was a Persian mystic and poet. He was born sometime between the years 1310 and 1337 in Shiraz, at the foot of the Zagros Mountains in southwest Iran.
