SUFI WISDOM

If You order me to spend my life at the gates of monasteries

If You order me to spend my life at the gates of monasteries,
or have me running to Mecca,
Your wish is my command.
Glorious will be the day when You
release me from my self.




Mansoor, that whale of the Oceans of Love

Mansoor, that whale of the Oceans of Love,
had separated his soul from the entanglements of this life.
It was not him who claimed
Ana-al-Haq (I am the truth),
It was the Friend in whom he had lost his self.
It was the Beloved.





My Beloved, don't be heartless with me

My Beloved, don't be heartless with me.
Your Presence is my only cure.
How can I be left with neither a heart, nor my Beloved?
Either return my heart, or do not deny me
Your Presence.
