Al-Hallaj’s Diwân

You are no longer distant from me
Since I know that for You nearness and distance are but one
For me, if I am abandoned, it is still society for me, Your abandonment;
Besides, how can I be abandoned, since Love is discovery!
….
I have embraced with all my being all Your love,
Oh my sanctity!
So nakedly You come to me, it feels as if it is You in me!
