My courtyard has become frightening,
O how what I pass my night?
-Bullah Shah
Come Love, fold me in your arms,
Why this estrangement?
-Bullah Shah
I have been pierced by the arrow of love,
what shall I do?
-Bullah Shah
Tell me, O my maid-friend,
whether the Beloved is in the heart
or the heart in the Beloved.
-Kabir
Rose and mirror and sun and moon -
where are they?
-Mir
What mirror can He fit?
When does He ever show us His Face?
-Fakhr-al-Din Iraqi
Is the sunbeam His light -
or is it He Himself?
-Shah Ni'matallah Wali
Where is thy essence
separated from mine?
-Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
How long can the truth be veiled?
-Bulleh Shah
When will shadow
ever be cloven from light?
-Fakhr-al-Din Iraqi
