If You welcome me, then I am Your accepted one:

by Sharafuddin Maneri
(1263 - 1381) Timeline

English version by
Paul Jackson
Muslim / Sufi
14th Century

If You welcome me, then I am Your accepted one:
If You do not, I am still Your rejected servant!
I should not be worried whether You accept or reject me:
My task, in either state, is to remain preoccupied with You!

 

 

-- from In Quest of God: Maneri's Second Collection of 150 Letters, by Sharafuddin Maneri / Translated by Paul Jackson
