Here are some short poems from the book "The Gift", by Hafiz.
NO CONFLICT
No
Conflict
when the flute is playing
For then I see every movement emanates
from God's
Holy
Dance
THE SCENT OF LIGHT
Like a great starving beast
My body is quivering
Fixed
On the scent
Of Light
STOP BEING SO RELIGIOUS
What
Do sad people have in
Common?
It seems
They have built a shrine
To the past
And often go there
And do a strange wail and
worship.
What is the beginning of
Happiness?
It is to stop being
So religious
Like
That.
THE SAD GAME
Blame
Keeps the sad game going.
It keeps stealing your wealth -
Giving it to an imbecile with
No financial skills.
Dear one,
Wise
Up.
