Persian poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, and theologian.

I am yours. Don't give myself back to me.

Where lowland is, that's where water goes. All medicine wants is pain to cure.

ما تبحث عنه يبحث عنك

Beyond Islam and unbelief there is a desert plain. For us, there is a passion in the midst of that expanse. The knower who reaches there will prostrate, there is neither Islam nor unbelief, nor any 'where' in that place.

Is it really so that the one I love is everywhere?

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.I'll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grassthe world is too full to talk about.

jangan tanya apa agamaku. aku bukan yahudi. bukanzoroaster. bukan pula islam. karena aku tahu, begitu suatu namakusebut, kau akan memberikan arti yang lain daripada makna yang hidupdi hatiku.

You are an ocean in a drop of dew, all the universes in a thin sack of blood. What are these pleasures then, these joys, these worlds that you keep reaching for, hoping they will make you more alive?

The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.I'll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grassthe world is too full to talk about.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

Peaceful is the one who's not concerned with having more or less.Unbound by name and fame, he is free from sorrow from the world and mostly from himself.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

Be motivated like the falcon,hunt gloriously.Be magnificent as the leopard,fight to win.Spend less time withnightingales and peacocks.One is all talk,the other only color.

If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.

How will you know the difficulties of being human, if you are always flying off to blue perfection? Where will you plant your grief seeds? Workers need ground to scrape and hoe, not the sky of unspecified desire.

I am your moon and your moonlight tooI am your flower garden and your water tooI have come all this way, eager for youWithout shoes or shawlI want you to laughTo kill all your worriesTo love youTo nourish you.

I said, “I just want to know you and then disappear.”She said, “Knowing me does not mean dying.

When someone beats a rug,the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.

The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

Do not seek water, get thirst.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Gamble everything for love, if you're a true human being.

What is the Heart? A flower opening.

In the hearts of men lies both good and evil. The two coexist. Some men become good, and others become evil. It is the way of this world.-Kikyo

If you are seeking, seek us with joyFor we live in the kingdom of joy.Do not give your heart to anything elseBut to the love of those who are clear joy,Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.For there are hopes: they are real, they exist –Do not go in the direction of darkness –I tell you: suns exist.

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.

You dance inside my chest,where no one sees you,but sometimes I do, and thatsight becomes this art.

Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.

To live without youis to be robbed of loveand what is life without it?To live without youis death to me, my lovebut some call it life.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

Be motivated like the falcon,hunt gloriously.Be magnificent as the leopard,fight to win.Spend less time withnightingales and peacocks.One is all talk,the other only color.

Beyond Islam and unbelief there is a desert plain. For us, there is a passion in the midst of that expanse. The knower who reaches there will prostrate, there is neither Islam nor unbelief, nor any 'where' in that place.

There are no enemies, just hurting people.

Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.

I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is my temple.

I belong to no religion. My religion is love. Every heart is my temple.

This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

You dance inside my chest,where no one sees you,but sometimes I do, and thatsight becomes this art.

I will soothe you and heal you,I will bring you roses.I too have been covered with thorns.

This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.

Remember. The way you make love is the way God will be with you.

Gamble everything for love, if you're a true human being.

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field.I'll meet you there.
