Allah’s truth is lost on the men of orthodoxy

Allah’s truth is lost on the men of orthodoxy,
Mystics refuse to turn life into forgery.

Allah’s truth is an ocean and the dogma a ship,
Most people don’t leave the ship to plunge in that sea.

At the threshold of truth, the dogma held them back
At that door, all came in sight, but they could not see.

Those who comment on the four books are heretics:
They read the text, but miss the deep reality.
