Nice stanza taken from “Caravan of Light”
Thou art the sole object of love and worship in my heart and I gaze upon thee with its eye.
Candle like I burn with the desire of being near to thee all the sooner; With my head on the enemy’s spear I’m bound for thy seat.
I asked thee to show me thyself when I reached the tryst with you on Mount Sinai, Thou art the fount of life from which thou quenchest my thirst.
On the edge of the Sea of existence I experienced the ascension of witnessing. The Mirror of the heart broke, but the image of the beloved remained, the true image of thee revealed the secret of He is Allah, The One.
