Love came and emptied me of self

by Abu-Said Abil-Kheir

English version by Vraje Abramian
Original Language Persian/Farsi

Love came and emptied me of self,
every vein and every pore,
made into a container to be filled by the Beloved.
Of me, only a name is left,
the rest is You my Friend, my Beloved.

-- from Nobody, Son of Nobody: Poems of Shaikh Abu-Saeed Abil-Kheir, Translated by Vraje Abramian
