Mahzarnama 51 Power and Authority, None can ever solve this extremely difficult riddle? The beautiful radiate Thy pulchritude; Every flower, indeed every garden, reflects Thy beauteous charm. The enchantingly beautiful eyes of every beautiful person show Thee all the time; Every upturned curl of the tresses of hair seems to stretch a (begging) hand toward Thee (to receive the alms of The Grace and Beauty). The (spiritually) blind have hundreds of veils intervening; Otherwise, Thy blessed Countenance would have served as the centre of attention of the believers and disbelievers alike. O, my Beloved! Thy amorous glances are sharp like a sword; Which cut off one's concerns with those beside God. We have ground ourselves (humbly) to dust, hoping that (by meeting this humble end) we may be blessed by meeting Thee, So as to provide some relief to our pining for Thee, during this experience of separation. I cannot have a moment of peace without Thee; I suffer the throes of death like the sinking of an ailing person's heart. What is this hue and cry in Thy vicinity, pray attend to it soon, Lest someone infatuated with Thy Love may lose his life! [Surmah Chashm Aaryah, Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 2, p. 79]
