“For Love”

The lover knows only the beloved…
He has died to himself and become one with the beloved…
The lover sees only the beloved, upon every face his eyes gaze..
And in every sound he hears, the voice of the beloved pulsates…
Love is the land of unity…
Love is the land of nothingness…
A nothingness in which you become naught, and in which you become all.

When your enflamed by the fire of love there is no going back…
The lover accepts to fall apart, to become isolated and humiliated, to lose everything he owns, to lose his sense of identity!
For, in love there is no ‘other’… there is no ‘me’…
Love is to become nonexistent
And this non-existence reigns supreme over all existence…

Lovers are those who, like moths, throw themselves into the flames of love, annihilate themselves in the One, and thus become everlasting (Baqi).

Allah has chosen the lovers for Himself…
For Love is the name of Allah

To love and for love we came to this world
Our purpose is love, to love the Lover
Each part of our being proclaims Allah
What of those who see an ‘other’ ?

The earth and the heavens call out “Allah!”
Forego your self to befriend Allah
What worth has the world for one who finds love?
At every instant the call is for Allah.. Allah.. Allah!
