My Allah, what pain is this which has no remedy?
\nWhat wound is this, it bleeds, yet no mortal can see?<\/p>\n
What shall I do with my heart? Love never makes it weary.
\nIt goes and plunges into love–never returns to me.<\/p>\n
Then my heart turns around and showers me with sound advice
\nA heart engulfed by love escapes weariness ceaselessly.<\/p>\n
A lover absorbed in his own selfhood is no lover;
\nOne must give up one’s life to find beloved beauty.<\/p>\n
The lover knows full well that all these worldly possessions
\nAnd all fear of the hereafter are not worth a penny.<\/p>\n
They proclaim him dead and they chant prayers for the lover;
\nDeath is for beasts alone, it’s not the lover’s destiny.<\/p>\n
Within the inner core of this world and the hereafter
\nThe lover holds his own which is known to nobody.<\/p>\n
The field of the lovers is higher than the Ninth Heaven:
\nEven though they swing the mallet, there is no ball to see.<\/p>\n
Yunus plunged: He now stands immersed in the Oneness of Allah;
\nHis mind will never return from Eternal Unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
