My God and Lord Allah,
Eyes are at rest, stars are setting,
Hushed are the movements of birds in their nests,
of monsters in the deep.
Thou art the just who knowest no change,
the equity that swerveth not
the everlasting that passeth not away.
Our doors are all locked, watched by their bodyguards;
My Lord, each lover is now alone with his beloved;
Beloved, thou art my beloved, Oh Allah.
'Abd Al-Aziz Al-Dirini (Purity of Heart), 13th century.
