“The Heart Is Right:” Hafiz on Love and Loss

 

 

The Heart Is Right

 

The

Heart is right to cry 

Even when the smallest drop of light,

Of Love, 

Is taken away. 

Perhaps you may kick, moan, scream

In a dignified 

Silence,

But you are so right 

To do so in any fashion

Until God returns

To 

You. 

 

-Hafiz (from The Gift: Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master)
