English version by Whitall N. Perry Original Language Persian/Farsi I had supposed that, having passed away From self in concentration, I should blaze A path to Thee, but ah! No creature may Draw near thee, save Thy appointed ways. I cannot longer live, Lord, without Thee; Thy Hand is everywhere: I may not flee. Some have desired through hope to come to Thee, And thou hast wrought in them their high design: Lo! I have severed every thought from me, And died to selfhood, that I might be Thine. How long, my heart's Beloved? I am spent: I can no more endure this banishment. [2135.jpg] -- from A Treasury of Traditional Wisdom: An Encyclopedia of Humankind's Spiritual Truth, by Whitall N.
