I have come from the everlasting land;
\nWhat would I do with this world here that dies?
\nI have revelled in the face of the Friend,
\nWhy would I need houris from Paradise?<\/p>\n
I have sipped, out of the Beloved’s hand,
\nThe wine of Oneness with its mysteries;
\nI am so full of the scent of the Friend,
\nWhy would I need the sweet basil’s fragrance?<\/p>\n
I have abandoned the world, like Jesus,
\nSo I journey far and wide through the skies;
\nHaving seen the divine face, like Moses,
\nWhat does it mean to me to be sightless?<\/p>\n
Like Ishmael, I am to sacrifice
\nMy life and soul for Allah’s truth and justice;
\nI have surrendered myself to Thy hands,
\nWhy would I need a ram to sacrifice?<\/p>\n
Re-union with that Beloved of his
\nGives Yunus the lover his ecstasies.
\nI have smashed the bottle against the stones;
\nWhat would I do with honor and prudence?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
