Would you think it odd if Hafiz said,

"I am in love with every church
And mosque
And temple
...And any kind of shrine
Because I know it is there
That people say the different names
Of the One God."

Would you tell your friends
I was a bit strange if I admitted
I am indeed in love with every mind
And heart and body.

O I am sincerely
Plumb crazy
About your every thought and yearning
And limb
Because, my dear,
I know
That it is through these

That you search for Him.
