Now No Trace Remains

I thought that in this whole world
no beloved for me remained. Then I left myself. Now no stranger in the world remains. I used to see in every object a thorn but never a rose-- the universe became a rose garden. Not a single thorn remains. Day and night my heart was moaning "Ahhh!" I don't know how it happened-- now no "Ahhh" remains. Duality went, Unity came. I met with the Friend in private; The multitude left, the One came. Only the One remains. Religion, piety, custom, reputation-- these used to matter greatly to me. O Niyazi -- what has happened to you? No trace of religion now remains.
