Mention not any king to me, For I have placed my hopes at another threshold. The Lord God, Who has granted life to the universe, He is the Originator, the Creator, the Sustainer. The Generous, All-Powerful, Reliever of problems, The Merciful, the Compassionate, Who fulfils all needs. I lie prostrate at His door, because it is said ‘In this world one thing leads to another.’ Whenever I remember that Faithful Friend, I forget all my friends and relatives. How can I tie my heart to other than Him; For I am so restless without Him! Search not for my heart in my wounded bosom; For I have pinned it to the apron-strings of the Beloved. My heart is the Throne of the Beloved; My head is an offering in the way of the Friend.

How can I describe the extent of His bounties on me;

For His grace is boundless!

How can I ever be able to count His favours; For His favours are uncountable!

The kind of relationship I have with the Beloved, Is beyond the comprehension of all.

I cry at His door, As a woman cries in the pangs of childbirth.

All my time is saturated with His love; How happy is the time! How blissful the days!

O the garden of my Beloved! I sing Your praises; For You have freed me from the beauty of gardens and the joy of spring.
