The Alchemy of Non-being (7/3/16)

Everything, Everyone Seems to Exist (5/22/16)

Everything, everyone seems to exist.
But, they are all annihilated in front of Him,
And only the one who can lift the curtain of mortality
May reach His Essence behind His attributes.

How Can You Find Fault? (5/15/16)
The lover breaks his chains when he goes to the side of lovers.
The one who is insane keeps turning

This Is the Time of Separation (5/8/16)
Morning has come; daylight has broken out.
This is the time of separation for those who stay awake all night.
The desire for sleep has arrived,
And the eye which was our night guard has fallen asleep

Hundreds of Lights from God’s Purse (5/1/16)
O my soul, behind the curtain of the soul, there is a secret world, a secret drinking.
Behind the curtain of Absence, there are hundreds of Josephs of Canaan. Continue reading “Hundreds of Lights from God’s Purse (5/1/16)”
