Don't Surrender Your loneliness so quickly. Let it cut more deep. Let it ferment and season you As few human Or even divine ingredients can. Something missing in my heart tonight Has made my eyes so soft, My voice so Tender. My need of God Absolutely Clear. Hafiz ( translation by Daniel Landinsky) My eyes so soft.

Don’t
Surrender
Your loneliness so quickly.
Let it cut more deep.

Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can.

Something missing in my heart tonight
Has made my eyes so soft,
My voice so
Tender.

My need of God
Absolutely
Clear.

Hafiz
( translation by Daniel Landinsky)
