 100 Poems of Hafiz - Drunk on the wine of the Beloved,
Paperback -120 pages,
Translation by Thomas Rain Crowe.


The Persian Sufi poet Hafiz (1326-1390) is a towering figure in Islamic literature—and in spiritual attainment as well. Known for his profound mystical wisdom combined with a sublime sensuosness, Hafiz was the supreme master of a poetic form known as the ghazal, an ode or song consisting of rhymed couplets celebrating divine love.

''Hafiz speaks the immortal language of love today through Thomas Rain Crowe.'' _{---Shaykh Sherif Baba, Turkish Rifa'i Marufi Sufi Order}.

'O Beloved, there is no room left in my heart
For anything but You!
Please show pity on poor Hafiz. He is wounded and in pain.
Even if he seems happy today, he is waiting for sunlight, and all it ever
Seems to do, is rain.'
