Poem by Hazrat Rabia Al Basri
My God
And My Lord
Eyes
are at rest, the stars are setting.
Hushed
are the stirrings of birds in their nests,
Of
monsters in the ocean.
You
are the Just who knows no change,
The
Balance that can never swerve,
The
Eternal which never passes away.
The
doors of Kings are bolted now and guarded by soldiers.
Your
Door is open to all who call upon You.
My
Lord,
Each
love is now alone with his beloved.
And I
am alone with You.
