Hafiz gives a picture of human nature: hate, jealousy, love, kindness, vanity; the play of friendly impulse, the play of pride; all aspects of life. Hafiz is not only a poet, he is a painter. He has made pictures of the different aspects of life. Every verse is a picture; and in every picture, whatever be its color -- vanity, pride, conceit,. love, mercy, or compassion, in all their garbs -- he sees only one spirit, the spirit of the Beloved. And he shows the same devotion, appreciation, and love to all the manifestations of that one and the same Beloved. |
