YOUR MOTHER AND MY MOTHER

       Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
               I would like to see you living
                     In better conditions

          For your mother and my mother
                        were friends.

            I know the Innkeeper
            In this part of the universe.
                 Get some rest tonight,
             Come to my verse again tomorrow.
             We'll go speak to the Friend together.

            I should not make any promises right now,
                             But I know if you
                                     Pray
                      Somewhere in this world-
                       Something good will happen.

                           God wants to see
                More love and playfulness in your eyes
                For that is your greatest witness to Him.

                           Your soul and my soul
                  Once sat together in the Beloved's womb
                                 Playing footsie

                             Your heart and my heart
                                  Are very, very old
                                          Friends.

                                                                               HAFIZ
