The following poem was written by Hafiz. a famous Persian poet who lived in the 14th century:
I saw you dancing last night on the roof of your house all alone.
I felt your heart longing for the Friend.
I saw you whirling beneath the soft bright rose
that hung from an invisible stem in the sky.
So I began to change into my best clothes in hopes of joining you,
even though I live a thousand miles away.
And if you had spun like an immaculate sphere just two more times,
then bowed again so sweetly to the east,
you would have found God and me standing so near and lifting you into our arms.
I saw you dancing last night
near the roof of this world...
