A Dawn Breaking

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Imam al-Mugits Husayn ibn Manswur al-Hallaj (q.s.) said, in a poem: 

“The long-awaited revealing of a well-kept secret,

Is becoming clear to you.

A dawn is breaking on your darkness.

Your own heart is the veil covering the Secret.

If you had kept yourself,

He would not have been Revealed to you.

But when you destroy your own heart,

He Enters it and Discloses His Divine Revelation.

So, guarded by this Revelation,

An ever-nourishing dialogue will follow;

Its verse and prose delicious to Us both.”
