I am He...

Husayn ibn Mansur al-Hallaj known as al-Hallaj (the wool-carder), he was put to death in Baghdad for having uttered ana 'l haqq (I am the Truth):


I am He whom I love,
and He whom I love is I:

We are two spirits
dwelling in one body.

If thou seest me,

thou seest Him,

And if thou seest Him,

thou seest us both.


al-Hallaj, Kitab al-Tawasin, in The Mystics of Islam, by Reynold A Nicholson
