Hafiz Poems- The Gift

" The Gift "

Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master

 By Daniel Ladinsky 

Hafiz Poems Include: 

• I Have Learned So Much 
• What Do White Birds Say 
• An Infant In Your Arms 
• The Mountain Got Tired of Sitting 
• The Stairway of Existence 
• Lifts Beyond Conception 
• Some Fill With Each Good Rain 

More than any other Persian poet--even Rumi--Hafiz expanded the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the "Invisible Tongue." Indeed, Daniel Ladinsky, the accomplished translator of this volume, has said that his work with Hafiz is an attempt to do the impossible: to translate Light into words--to make the Luminous Resonance of God tangible to our finite senses.
