Golestan (Persian: گلستان‎ Golestȃn "The Flower Garden", "Land of Flowers")

The words that are spoken and sung throughout the album are from a nameless Hafez poem:

"To me a rose-tinted cheek from flower garden of the world is enough;
From this meadow the shade of that flying cypress is enough;

May I and the company of the deceitful folk be far!
Of all earth's treasures a cup of wine to me is enough;

The palace of paradise for good deeds is bestowed,
To me, drunken and a beggar, the cloister of Magians is enough;

Sit beside the brook and watch the passage of life,
To me the image of passage of life to watch is enough;

Look for the cash in this world and the pain,
If these don't satisfy you, to me the profit and loss is enough;

The darling is with me, why should I desire more?
The pleasure of discourse with my dear darling is enough;

For God's sake send me not to paradise from your door,
For in this world the head of your street to me is enough;

Hafiz! it is unfair to complain about the watery flow of fate,
The nature like water, and moving gazelles to you is enough;"
