Every star circles about the sky, because purity is the congener of purity.
The mystic’s soul circles about annihilation, even as iron about a magnet,
Because annihilation is true existence in his sight, his eyes having been washed clean of squinting and error;

Mankind, like waterfowl, are sprung from the sea of the soul; how should the bird that has risen from that sea make its dwelling here?
Nay rather, we are pearls in that sea, we are all present therein;
else, why does wave upon wave surge from the sea of the heart?
The wave of Alast came along and caulked the body’s ship;
when the ship is wrecked once more, the turn of union and encounter will come.

Last night the shaikh went all about the city, lamp in hand, crying, “I am weary of beast and devil, a man is my desire.”
They said, “He is not to be found, we too have searched.”
He answered, “He who is not to be found is my desire.”

Love resides not in science and learning, scrolls and pages
whatever men chatter about, that way is not the lovers’ way
Know that the branch of Love is in pre-eternity and its roots in post-eternity

My heart, do not come wandering in this direction; sit there, for it is a pleasant station.
Choose that dessert which augments life, seek that wine which is full-bodied;
The rest is all scent and image and colour, the rest is all war and shame and opprobrium;
Be silent, and sit down, for you are drunk, and this is the edge of the roof.

You who are my soul’s repose in the time of pain, you who are my spirit’s treasure in the bitterness of poverty,
That which imagination never conceived, reason and understanding never perceived, has entered my soul from you; therefore to you alone I turn in worship.

Wherever you go, you are with me still, you who are my eyes and my brightness; if you will, draw me to drunkenness, if you will, transport me to annihilation

God answered, “First realize what impurity is; it is not meet to pray crookedly and topsy-turvy.
For prayer is a key; and when the key is crooked, you will not attain the favour of opening the lock.”
