Closiness to King

The distinction between the ruler and the ruled cannot disappear The beggar cannot have the audacity of being equal to the king

In the world adoration of the master is the climax of devotion “Seek the pleasure of the master and have the beautiful tunic”

But if you aim to have the good pleasure of the ruler You will have the title of self-seeker and antinational

The old way has thousands of difficulties In the new principle the lap is free of worries

The real joy comes by passing one’s life like this “Thousand words in the mouth and have silent lips”

This principle alone is the mainstay of peaceful existence “The recluse beggar you are, O Hafiz make no clamor”

But “If you are inclined to clamor let us begin “Grasp holy wine, then drink it to the harp’s tune”

Join the assemblies of the rich, the minister and the king Smash to pieces conscience’ goblet with greed’s stone

However, listen to the message of the Saint of Shiraz also That this is the secret of the conscience seller’s closet

“Light of effulgence is the king’s brilliant opinion If you want his closeness try to have clean intention”
