Oh Beloved
Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.
Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.
Mevlana

hold of the Water of Life

colorful tulips, istanbul tulip festival 2009, istanbul, pentax k10d
Love is the Water of Life
Everything other than love for the most beautiful God
though it be sugar-eating.
What is agony of the spirit?
To advance toward death without seizing
hold of the Water of Life.
From
Masnawi I 3686-87
