The radiance of your goodness ...

The radiance of your goodness manifested in eternity

Love appeared and set fire to the mountain, earth and sea

Your face radiated, and still saw angels were loveless

Setting this fire on man, was then your zealous decree

Mind wanted to turn this fire to its own guiding light

You set the world in chaos with your ardent, radiant glee

False seeker sought to witness the secrets of the world

Hidden hand came and kept away his undeserving plea

To others fate brought a lot, filled with pleasure and joy

My sad heart's lot was to be saddened on its knee

My sublime soul was longing for a glimpse of your face

My hand running through the locks of your hair lovingly

Hafiz wrote his love poems only on the day that he

Let the pen write from the heart that is joyous and free.
