lyrics

O Hafiz, sing to us tonight, for so many hearts
are wounded from passing through this world,
and who knows . . . how many times?
Let the soul of light caress our bodies—and
the river's and field's—and the sky's! Show us
their open arms that always want to give.
Reveal the mountains dance so we cannot resist
to join in. Make the earth's divine gravity draw us
also into a sacred whirl.
Impart the knowledge to us that God does to the
angels, so that we, like them, become radiant,
radiant with love.
O Hafiz, O dear Rumi . . . heaven has entered
your sounds. So sing to us dear ones. O sing,
sing to us tonight.
