((The picture is a miniature of Mahmoud Farshchian, the Iranian great artist.))The angels knocked at the tavern-door last night,With man's clay, they kneaded the cup outright.The dwellers of God's heavenly abode,Drank wine with me-a beggar of the road.Heaven could not bear this wonderful trust,That to a madman this honor was thrust.Disputes of religions is but a false pretense,Having not seen the Truth, they speak nonsense.Thank God! There is peace between Him and me.So dancing mystics took their cups with glee.What makes the candle laughing isn't a flame.The fire that burned the butterfly is my aim.No one can display thoughts as Hafiz can,No such words are written by the pen of man.Poem is written by Hafez. Do you know more about Hafez? So, please read this.The Poem translated into English by Dr. Abbas Aryanpour Kashani.Enjoy your time!Nafis

Not at all my dear. You did a great job finding the Farsi poem. We really need it. Don't think like that at all. You are not talkative. You are a sweet person and sharing your vision is really great. I like reading all your comments. Please do not think like that....
Thanks a million times for the poem of Hafez. I should read it again.
My lovely Zahra, thanks a million times for the Persian text. However,by looking at the Persian version, our English won't be improved. I think even if we can't understand the English poem is better than looking at the Persian text because our mind should guess and work so that we can become familiar with the English sentence structures. So, It is great after reading the English version take a look at the Persian text.
