By Abu-Said Abil-Kheir(967 - 1049)English version by Vraje Abramian
When the desire for the Friend became real,all existence fell behind.The Beloved wasn't interested in my reasoning,I threw it away and became silent.The sanity I had been taught became a bore,it had to be ushered off.Insane, silent and in bliss,I spend my days with my headat the feet of My Beloved.
