Hafiz is a Persian poet of the year 1300. He was inspired by religion of love and wrote a couple of poems. His style is different compared to other poets. The metaphors he uses about life and living can be interpreted in different ways. Other than the philosophy of love, the poet reveals theological and mystical bases of his erotic spirituality. Influenced by Islamic philosophy, Sufism, the poet has a unique style in describing the life itself. The poem which made the most impression in me is “No more Leaving”.
At Some point
Your relationship
With God
Will
Become like this:
Next time you meet Him in the forest
Or on a crowded city street
There won't be anymore
"Leaving."
That is,
God will climb into
Your pocket.
You will simply just take
Yourself
Along!
It shows his beliefs and his views about God. Sooner or later we all come to embrace to love of God.
