My Beloved, this torture and pain
by Abu-Said Abil-KheirEnglish version by Vraje Abramian
Original Language Persian/Farsi
My Beloved, this torture and pain
I suffer because I am so addicted to Your Beauty.
People ask me whether I prefer Your
company to being in heaven.
Heedless fools, what would heaven itself mean
without the Friend's Presence?
