Why set your heart on a piece ofearth,seek out the source which shines forever.
Tonight the moon kisses the stars. O beloved,be like that to me!
Although I may try to describe Love, When I experience it, I am speechless.
I came to this earth so that I could find my way back to my Beloved.
There is a sun within every person.
I can't stop pointing to the beauty.
Lovers don't meet in the end, they are in each other forever.
Even though you tie a hundred knots, the string remains one.
One drop of that ocean is Hope, and the rest is fear.
The chess master says nothing, other than moving the silient chess piece.
The meaning of poetry has no sureness of direction; is like the sling, it is not under control.
I am in the House of Mercy, and my heart is a place of prayer.
Our death is our wedding with eternity.
If words come out of the heart, they will enter the heart.
