Folded hands to you.. sam - Lady Joyce Tuesday, September 21, 2004 12:17 AM The Thousand-Stringed Instrument... Posted by Gloria on ND Highlights... The Thousand-Stringed Instrument By Hafiz The heart is The thousand-stringed instrument. Our sadness and fear come from being Out of tune with love. All day long God coaxes my lips To speak, So that your tears will not stain His green dress. It is not that the Friend is vain, It is just your life we care about. Sometimes the Beloved Takes my pen in hand, For Hafiz is just a simple man. The other day the Old One Wrote on the Tavern wall: "The heart is The thousand-stringed instrument That can only be tuned with Love." http://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/H/Hafiz/index.htm --from The Gift: Poems by Hafiz the Great Sufi Master, trans.
