HAFIZ SAYS GO AND DO GOOD
Hafiz
What kind of uproar is this
I see in this lunatic globe?
I see the whole world in turmoil,
very much disturbed!
Everybody seeks better times from the
world
The trouble is, I see every day getting
worse!
While fools are favoured with
refreshments
I see the wise sweat blood to get
their sustenance.
The race horse is over-burdened with
pack saddle
The donkeys are adorned with golden
collars, I see.
Daughters are in very much in
conflict with their mothers
And I see every son spiteful towards
his father
No brother is compassionate towards
another
Nor father does show affection to his
son, I see.
O Master, Listen to the counsel of
Hafiz;
Go and do good,
I reckon this is more precious than
pearls and jewels.
(Although Hafiz wrote in 14th Century Iran,
the whole world feels his predicament today! It is a prophetic forecast -Editor)
