HAFIZ SAYS GO AND DO GOODtc "HAFIZ SAYS GO AND DO GOOD"
What kind of uproar is this
I see in this lunatic globe?
I see the whole world in turmoil, very much disturbed!
Everybody seeks better times from the world
The trouble is, I see every day getting worse!

I see the wise sweat blood to get their sustenance.

The donkeys are adorned with golden collars, I see.

No brother is compassionate towards another
Nor father does show affection to his son, I see.
O Master, Listen to the counsel of Hafiz;
Go and do good,
I reckon this is more precious than pearls and jewels.
(Although Hafiz wrote in 14th Century Iran, the whole world feels his predicament today! It is a prophetic forecast -Editor)
