The Essence of Your Love


Sufiyyah Rabi'a Al-Adawiyyah (
717 - 801) bersyair..

"Everyone prays to You from fear of the Fire;
And if You do not put them in the Fire,
This is their reward.

Or they pray to You for the Garden,

Full of fruits and flowers.
And that is their prize.

But I do not pray to You like this,

For I am not afraid of the Fire,
And I do not ask You for the Garden.

But all I want is the Essence of Your Love,

And to return to be One with You,
And to become Your Face."
