" I am the Truth "...


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.
