Analysis of If God Invited You To A Party
Shams al-Din Hafiz 1315 (Shiraz) – 1390 (Shiraz)
If God
Invited you to a party
And said,
'Everyone
In the ballroom tonight
Will be my special
Guest...'
How would you then treat them
When you
Arrived?
And I know
There is no one in this world
Who
Is not upon
His Jeweled Dance
Floor
