The Golden Compass - Hafiz

Forget every idea of right and wrong
any classroom ever taught you

Because an empty heart, a tormented mind,
unkindness, jealousy and fear

Are always the testimony
you have been completely fooled!

Hafiz,
look at the Perfect One at the Circle’s Center:

He spins and Whirls like a Golden Compass,
beyond all that is Rational,

To show this dear world
that Everything,
everything in Existence

Does point to God.

Hafiz
