The old sweet beggar

piccolabasmalahbowl

This

Path to God

Made me such

an old sweet beggar.

I was starving until one night

My love tricked God Himself

To fall

into my bowl.

Now Hafiz is infinitely rich,

But all I ever want to do

Is keep emptying out

My emerald filled

Pockets

Upon

This tear stained

World.
