Leave Love Alone



Leave Love Alone


He is He...


Enter this state, there's no door,

Imagine this state, you'll only grab your soul's fancy skirt,

Forget this state, let forgetfulness whisper the secrets to non-beings instead.


Once, as soon as I started looking for Him in this and that,

I heard myself say unto myself,

"Are you seeking Beauty here?

Not even nearness nor aloneness can capture the Beloved,

What you see, what you hear, what you feel,

They are but rumours perpetrated by the winds,

Like the fallen feathers of the legendary King of Birds.


"They say, there's an eternal mirror somewhere in all this non-sense,

In which the Answer is written in silver light.

The answer is humbly awful:

"Do you hesitate which One the Seer is and which One the Seen is?"

Ah, forget even this,

You know that I can only lie to you,

Until you and I can no longer lie of the things unnamed and without a sign."


Wash your face with the seven seas you may,

Just don't rest on anything in this endless space,

See if you can be the One without sign and name.


Hush! O Vanity personified,

What shall not spin yourself astray?

Just leave Love alone with Love.


He is He...


Ishq,

Dani

hi dani iam niknaz
I hope you are happy
I did not have an email from you
So I've sent a message here, I hope you'll read
I've been a lot better in English
Last night I came to sleep and see you in my dream
Do you see the dream in your sleep? Or, like my husband Ali, you do not dream in sleep at night
I've been married for eight months
And now I'm busy teaching some Iranian universities
I hope you accept my apologies for the bad behavior that I have had with you. I was not physically fit.(I've been depressed)
this is my e-mail
niknaz.art.ac@gmail.com or niknaz.bkh@gmail.com
p.s :If you would like to be happy, I will receive an email from you
Best wishes
