“قلْبي يُحدّثُني بأنّكَ مُتلِفي،
روحي فداكَ عرفتَ أمْ لمْ تعرفِ
**
لم أقضِ حقَّ هَوَاكَ إن كُنتُ الذي..
لم أقضِ فيهِ أسى،ومِثلي مَن يَفي”
― ابن الفارض

“Here soar
Not with wings

But with your moving hands and feet
And sweating brows -

Standing by your Beloved's side
Reaching out to comfort this world

With your cup of solace
Drawn from your vast reservoir of truth.”

“Your soul once sat on an easel on my knee.
For ages I hve been sketching you
With myriad shapes of sounds and light;

Now awake, dear pilgrim,
With your thousand swaying arms
That need to caress the sky.”

“All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.”
