There is a community of the spirit.
Join it, and feel the delight
of walking in the noisy street
and being the noise.
Drink all your passion,
and be a disgrace.
Close both eyes
to see with the other eye
Woman is the light of God.

"If you are in love with the moon,
it is because you never stay for long."
The night turned to me and said,
"It is not my fault. I never see the Sun,
how can I know that love is endless?

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "My Companions are as stars. Whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided." When a man looks at a star, and finds his way by it, the star does not speak any word to that man. Yet, by merely looking at the star, the man knows the road from roadlessness and reaches his goal.

The rest if tearing down one building to put up another.

yet your presence is a healing calm.
If I could repeat it,
people passing by would be enlightened and go free.

Soul, if you want to learn secrets,
your heart must forget about
shame
and dignity.
You are God's lover,
yet you worry
what people
are saying.
