I lamented in every gathering;
I associated with those in bad or happy circumstances.
(But) everyone became my friend from his (own) opinion;
he did not seek my secrets from within me.
My secret is not far from my lament,
but eyes and ears do not have the light (to sense it).

Open to me, so that I may open.
Provide me your inspiration
So that I might see mine.

In the heavens I see your eyes,
In your eyes I see the heavens.

Why look for another Moon or another Sun?—
What I see will always be enough for me.

Kemarin aku menjadi pintar
Aku ingin merubah dunia
Hari ini aku menjadi bijak
Aku ingin merubah diriku sendiri.

چــون بسی ابلیس آدم روی هست
پس به هر دستی نباید داد دست”

I am merely a guest born in this world, to know the secrets that lie beyond it.

The words that make the rose bloom were also said to me.
The words told to the cypress to make it grow strong and straight.
The instructions whispered to the jasmine.
And whatever was said to the sugarcane to make it sweet.
And to the pomegranate flowers to make them blush.
The same thing is being said to me.

Choose to love the one who does not die.

We are the the night ocean filled with glints of light. We are the space between the fish and the moon, while we sit here together.
