I am a Golden Compass - 

Watch me whirl. 

To the east and to the west, 

To the north and to the south, 

In all directions I will true your course 

Toward laughter and unity. 

To everywhere I will deliver enlightenment 

On the backs of camels, birds 

And strong pilgrims. 

Into every country 

I will carry the Holy Names and dance 

And dance. 

I am a Golden Compass - 

Watch me sing and spin 

Illustrious strands of lyrics and truth. 

I am a divine Agent. 

Your passage to light, your ticket, 

May need my stamp. 

My feet and verse are now ecstatic 

And midair; 

Just place your self beneath our leaping arch - 

We will sweetly rain upon you. 

Watch me whirl into nothingness 

Your fears and darkness - 

Just keep tossing them onto my golden plate. 

I am a Holy Instrument always tuned by God 

I live beyond every dimension. 

I have been lifted drunk off the floor 

In a Magnificent Tavern. 

Now at my seat upon Divine Love 

I gaze at Everything with brilliant, clear eyes. 

I can so easily lean my cheek across this small table 

Of time and space 

And let you touch my beautiful laughing 

Wooly beard. 

Hafiz is an Emerald Compass. 

My knowledge will put manna in your purse. 

My only duty that now remains 

To this world 

Is from every direction 

To forever serve you wine and 

Hope. 

Hafiz is a Golden Skirt 

The Beloved has lifted off a magnificent floor 

And has tied around His waist. 

Watch us whirl, whirl, 

Whirl!

~ Beloved Hafiz ~
