This poem by Hafiz uses the metaphor of the sun glimpsing God's true nature to illustrate a profound spiritual truth. The sun, having seen the divine, is forever changed and continuously gives its energy to the earth, much like God who provides from behind a veil. Hafiz questions why, with such a magnificent God, people aren't constantly overwhelmed with joy. He suggests that the reason lies in human judgment — the belief that one is superior or inferior to others disrupts spiritual joy, symbolized by the breaking of a wine glass. This imagery reflects the fragility of spiritual enlightenment and the ease with which it can be shattered by ego and comparison.
