Hafiz - Pray
Pray To be humble So that God does not Have to appear to be so stingy. O pray to be honest, Strong, Kind, And pure, So that the Beloved is never miscast As a cruel great miser. I know you have a hundred complex cases Against God in court, But never mind, wayfarer, Let's just get out of this mess And pray to be loving and humble So that the Friend will be forced to reveal Himself So Near!
