"We have not come here to take prisoners, but to surrender ever more deeply to freedom and joy."
Shams-ud-din Muhammad Hafiz (c. 1320-1389), though little known in the
Western world, is the most beloved poet of Persia (Iran). To Persians, the
poems of Hafiz are not "classical literature" from a remote past, but
cherished wisdom from a dear and intimate friend. The special gift of this
friend is a poetry unique in world literature, a poetry that celebrates every
expression of love in the universe.
The lyrics of Hafiz overflow with a profound appreciation of the beauty and
richness of life when seen through the eyes of love. With unerring insight,
he explores the feelings and motives associated with every level of love,
tracing each nuance of emotion in depth and detail. His poetry outlines the
stages of the mystic's "path of love" that journey of inner unfolding in which
love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to join larger processes of growth and transformation. Through these processes, human love becomes divine love and the lover merges ultimately with the source and goal of all love, which Hafiz calls the Divine Beloved.
