At the Mosque, preachers preach,
But outside they practice the opposite.I have a question for the pious man:
"Why do you preach repentance, if you don't repent?"Preachers must not really believe in judgement day,
since they never obey their Judge's orders.O wayward priest! At the tavern, they give
heart-nurturing water; come and get it.If lovers can stand the Beloved's beauty,
they may understand the teachings of Love.Angels! Worship the divine love-temple,
There is where Adam's clay was kneaded with wine."A great noise is heard in Heaven" said wisdom,
"Hafiz's verses are sung by the saints of the Kingdom."
