Il dit : Bien qu'en corps, je sois loin de lui, sans corps et sans âme, nous ne sommes qu'une seule et même lumière(...)
Puisque je suis lui et que lui est moi, pourquoi le chercherais je ? Nous sommes un - je me chanterai maintenant moi-même.
Puisque je suis lui et que lui est moi, pourquoi le chercherais je ? Nous sommes un - je me chanterai maintenant moi-même.
Jamais un seul instant, il ne cessa d'écouter de la musique et de danser.
Jamais il ne se reposait, que ce soit de jour ou de nuit.
il avait été un mufti, il devint poète.
il fut un ascète, il devient enivré par l'amour.
Non par la vin de la grappe car l'âme illuminée ne boit que le vin de la lumière.
Jamais il ne se reposait, que ce soit de jour ou de nuit.
il avait été un mufti, il devint poète.
il fut un ascète, il devient enivré par l'amour.
Non par la vin de la grappe car l'âme illuminée ne boit que le vin de la lumière.
Ah ! père je vois l'océan ; il est devenu mon support ; C'est ma patrie et mon état spirituel. Si tu m'appartiens et que je t'appartiens, alors pénètre dans cet océan ; autrement, reste avec la volaille.
