Hussien Ali

“There is a place where words are born of silence,
A place where the whispers of the heart arise.

There is a place where voices sing your beauty,
A place where every breath
carves your image
in my soul.”
― Rumi, Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved

“In the heavens I see your eyes,
In your eyes I see the heavens.

Why look for another Moon or another Sun?—
What I see will always be enough for me.”
― Rumi, Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved

“Fill this cup to that love that never changes, never! Fill this cup to the love that goes on living forever! To the love that has been purified by earthly woes and at last with everlasting bliss... divinely glows!”
― Nizami Ganjavi, Nizami: Layla & Majnun

“Majnun may gaze at Layla‘s beauty, but this Layla is only a mirror […] God with Majnun‘s eye looks upon His own beauty in Layla, and through Majnun He loves Himself.”
― Fakhruddin Iraqi, Fakhruddin Iraqi: Divine Flashes
