Page 324 - from Volume Two (Display Image)He does not know who or whom, and your beloved is not obligated to you, and this is the sweetest taste you found, then after that by agreement. So you find the inclination to him with that passion that you have, so you know that he is your friend, and this is one of the hidden moments of souls looking at things from behind the veil of the unseen, so they are ignorant of their condition and do not know who they are, who they are, or what they care about, and people find that in the arrest and extension, for which there is no reason. So he knows that that arrest was for this matter, or he comes to what pleases him, so he knows that that numerator was for this matter, and that is for the soul to anticipate things before their formation in the attachment of the outward senses and they are the preludes of formation. The natural instinct of every human being is the lack of an existent that is based on him, and he is God, and he does not feel it. That is why he said, O people, you are the poor to God. He tells them that the lack that you find in yourselves is related to God and nothing else, but you do not know Him, so we knew the truth about it, and when we tasted this place, we said about it. Twenty arguments stuck with whom I liked *** and I did not know who I liked and I did not know patience Nor did my eyes look at her beautiful face *** nor did my ears ever hear her mention Until the lightning appeared from the side of the fever *** So he blessed me one day and tortured me forever We also have a taste in this sense, for we only express what we have tasted I got stuck with whom I like from where I don't know *** and I don't know who this is who said I don't know I was hot about my self and my thoughts were confused *** and I was confused about my matter So between me, after twenty pilgrimages *** I am translating about a love that my secret embraces And I did not know who I fell in love with, nor did I know his name *** nor did I know who this was in my chest Until her face appeared to me from her veil *** Like the clouds of the night resulting from the Badr So I said to them, Who is this? It was said that this is *** with the intention of the eye of the heart, the daughter of my brother Al-Sad I grew up out of reverence for her and her origin *** Let her raise me on the Night of Power And we have a taste in this sense. When I first entered Syria, I found an unknown tendency for a long time in a long divine story, imagined in a bodily form, so we said to her about that with the situation and his tongue. I say and I have from your love that I have *** an article who said the beloved to him, tell me And when I entered the Levant, I was confused in my mind *** I had never seen before me in love a lover like me I fell in love and I don't know who I fell in love with *** Is my beloved Creator or is he from my appearance? And my ears never heard his remembrance *** So did this lover say another before me? So the country of God came to the east and west, so that I might see someone who agrees with me I only saw a certain lover *** who, of course, accompanies him in the shadows So I said, My God, my heart is doomed *** and I did not know, so look at my place and my humiliation And the caller of love called out from between my ribs *** You poor have plunged into the seas of ignorance So listen to what I say and take the secret of my wisdom *** for I am one of the people of teachings and virtues By seventeen and then fifty after that *** If you get two, you will get my prayer A wonderful square shape *** is based for you exactly on the connection in which it is and the separation Like his name God is a clear statement *** So the name of my beloved was in the form of the original |
