“Ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you.”- Hafez, The Divan of Hafez
something from travellocal.com
translated by Daniel Ladinsky (renderings of Hafiz).
I wonder the rest very much, here you go:

God himself has came to my door – so sweetly asking for your address,
Wanting the beautiful warmth
of your heart’s fire!”

But it is fun playing dumb once in a while.”
