Don't Surrender

Don't surrender your loneliness so quickly
let it cut more deep.
Let it ferment and season you
as few human or even divine ingredients can.
Something missing in my heart tonight
has made my eyes so soft
my voice so tender
my need of god
absolutely clear.


... Hafiz

salam.

one is never alone for even in loneliness one finds His company - the "best friend" who never fails.

pardon me for my ignorance - who is the poet (i know "hafiz" but which hafiz?)

salam,

you are right - for Allah said in surah al-Hadid "wahuwa ma'akum 'aina ma kuntum" - "And I am with you wherever you are"

isn't it a blessing to never be alone?

this is hafiz of shiraz.
