Every lover has carved for himself an idol;. But our Beloved alone has captivated our hearts. . He alone is the comfort of our soul and the darling of our heart;. The same One Who is the Lord of the Creation. . He has dawned upon me through His blessings;. Holy is He Who has humbled my opponents. . My life is tied to the Beloved;. He alone is the Paradise and the Ultimate refuge. . To glorify Him, wherefrom can I seek the power?. A river of love flows in my heart. . How great are Your favours, O my Guide,. Holy is He Who has humbled my opponents. . Your grace knows no limits;. No moment is devoid of it. . Your mercy and favours are countless;. I no longer have the strength to thank You enough. . How great are Your favours, O my Guide,. Holy is He Who has humbled my opponents. . Which path should I follow to get to Your street?. What service should I render of which You are the reward?. It is love alone which draws me so irresistibly;. It is the Divine alone through Whom I efface my ego. . What is love? Whom should I tell?. What secret is faithfulness? In whom should I confide?
