Before your Unique Being, there is neither old nor new:

by Sharafuddin Maneri
(1263 - 1381) Timeline

English version by
Paul Jackson
Muslim / Sufi
14th Century

Before your Unique Being, there is neither old nor new:
Everything is nothing, nothing at all! Yet He is what He is.
How then can we remain separate from You?
