My mind has got blisters on its feet

by Nizami Ganjavi

English version by Vraje Abramian
Original Language Persian/Farsi

My mind has got blisters on its feet,
and the road is narrower than a hair!

If You do not grant safe passage,
how can this riddle be solved?

Intellect receives its light at Your Gate
but should it step inside, it will vanish!

-- from Winds of Grace: Poetry, Stories and Teachings of Sufi Mystics and Saints, by Vraje Abramian
