powerless reason!





Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.

Love alone is capable of revealing the truth of Love and being a Lover.

The way of our prophets is the way of Truth.

If you want to live, die in Love; die in Love if you want to remain alive.


I silently moaned so that for a hundred centuries to come,

The world will echo in the sound of my hayhâ

It will turn on the axis of my hayhât*


*hayhâ and hayhât, a corruption of the same term in Persian means 'alas' or 'woe to me!'


(Divan, 562:7)
