Alone with the Alone
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykha Rabi’ah al-‘Adawiyyah al-Qaysiyyah al-Baswri (q.s.) said:
“Brothers, my peace is in my
aloneness.
My Beloved is Alone with
me there, always.
I have found nothing in
all the worlds,
That could match His Love.
This love that harrows
the sands of my desert.
If I come to die of
desire.
And my Beloved is still
not satisfied,
I would live in eternal
despair.
To abandon all that He
has Fashioned
And hold in the palm of
my hand,
Certain Proof that He Loves me -
That is the name and the goal of my search.”
