A description of the experience
Hafiz of Shiraz – Thirty Poems [translated by Peter Avery and John Heath-Stubbs]
O royal keen eyed falcon, whose perch is on the Tree of Life
Why is this corner of affliction’s town your nest?
They are whistling you home from the battlements of the Empyrean
What could you be doing here in this place of snares?
