"Beg for Love.
Consider this burning, and those who
burn, as gifts from the Friend.
Nothing to learn.
Too much has already been said.
When you read a single page from
the silent book of your heart,
you will laugh at all this chattering,
all this pretentious learning."
Abu-Said Abil-Kheir (967 - 1049)
from _Nobody, Son of Nobody: Poems of Shaikh Abu-Saeed Abil-Kheir_
Translated by Vraje Abramian
