Poems by the Sufi Hafiz

DopeBeastie

Just Looking for Trouble

I once had a student
who would sit alone in his house at night
shivering with worries
and fears

and, come morning,
he would often look as though
he had been raped
by a ghost

then one day my pity

crafted for him a knife
from my own Devine sword

since then,
i have become very proud
of this student

For now, come night,
Not only has he lost all his fear,

Now he goes out

Just looking for
Trouble.

Will Beat You Up


Jealousy
And most all of your sufferings

Are from believing
You know better than God.

Of course,
Such a special brand of arrogance as that
Always proves disastrous,

And will rip the seams
In your caravan tent,

Then cordially invite in many species
Of mean biting flies and
Strange thoughts-

That will
Beat you
Up.

WITH THAT MOON LANGUAGE


Admit something:


Everyone you see, you say to them, “Love me.”



Of course you do not do this out loud, otherwise
someone would call the cops.



Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us to connect.



Why not become the one who lives with a
full moon in each eye that is
always saying,

with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in
this world is
dying to
hear?
