Hafiz: Why Wait Until You Are Dying To Discover the Divine Truth?

In many parts of this world water is
Scarce and precious.
People sometimes have to walk 
A great distance
Then carry heavy jugs upon their
Heads.
Because of our wisdom, we will travel
Far for love.
All movement is a sign of 
Thirst.
Most speaking really says 
"I am hungry to know you."
Every desire of your body is holy;
Every desire of your body is
Holy.
Dear one,
Why wait until you are dying
To discover that divine
Truth?
