Hafiz: I Have Learned So Much

Posted on by June 12, 2016

I Have Learned So Much – a poem by the 14th century Sufi poet Hafiz

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
a Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me

That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even a pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
my mind has ever known.

From The Gift, a collection of poetry by Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
