Still you

Did u know u're mean a lot to me..?

I could never see the two of us apart..
Like now..

I try hard to forget,
to remove u from my heart n my head..

But, i think that's imposible now..

Did u know i only give my heart to u..?

No matter what u do..
No matter how u feel..
No matter where u are..
No matter why u leave..
No matter who u are..
No matter when u come..

I promise u my heart..

But it seem stupid now..
It blind me.. Deaf me..

is it wrong to love u..?
is it loving u with all my heart a crime..??

My Lord My Love

O Lord,
If tomorrow on Judgment Day
You send me to Hell,
I will tell such a secret
That Hell will race from me
Until it is a thousand years away.

O Lord,
Whatever share of this world
You could give to me,
Give it to Your enemies;
Whatever share of the next world
You want to give to me,
Give it to Your friends.
You are enough for me.

O Lord,
If I worship You
From fear of Hell, burn me in Hell.

O Lord,
If I worship You
From hope of Paradise, bar me from its gates.

But if I worship You for Yourself alone
Then grace me forever the splendor of Your Face.



Rabi´a al-Adawiyya, translation by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut - 'Perfume of the Desert'

My peace is in my aloneness

Brothers..

My peace is in my aloneness..

My Beloved is alone with me there, always..

I have found nothing in all the worlds, that could match His love..

This love that harrows the sands of my dessert..

If i come to die of desire..

And my Beloved is still not satisfied..

I would live in eternal despair, to abandon all that He has fashioned..

And hold in the palm of my hand..

Certain proof that He love me..

That is the name and the goal of my search..
