O Beloved, You are so gracious...by Hafez

O Beloved,
You are so gracious. 


After all these years
You still remember
who I am:
the one who wears the dust of Your door like a crown. 


Tell me,
who taught You to be so generous to Your slaves? 


O Holy Bird,
please bless this path I’m on,
for I’m new to this traveling,
and it’s a long way I have to go. 


O morning breeze,
take my prayers to the Beloved,
and tell Him that each day
I am on my knees a
t dawn.



~Hafez
