You Alone, my Beloved

You alone, my Beloved, are protection,

support, inner force, and true being.

Always courting my soul, always in sympathy,

you are my rapture, well-being and joy,

the thrill of my existence, the consecration of my life.

I kneel in your presence, heart in prostration,

enraptured and exalted by your essence.

The straps of your sandals I kiss with delight.

I cannot find words to describe my mystical spouse,

the favorite of the universe, the hidden pearl.

O thief of God-filled hearts,

I submit to your overwhelming embrace,

annihilated by this magnificent Love.

Without home or asylum, without path or trace,

without any escape, any remedy,

I am lost in the desert, mountainous and remote,

the flowering desert of your Love.

You are closer than my central artery.

For you I have been mortally wounded by sweet arrows

in the mystical assembly of the heroic lovers of Love.

It is the radiant death of mortality.

I am amazed by this depth of Love,

which removes reason from the enamored ones.

I am an ant on a small leaf of the immense tree of Love,

a mote of pollen in the endless abyss of Love.

My naked heart is a brilliant ember

before the royal blue throne

of the ardent saints of my lineage.

Always ascending, this infinite aspiration

that no flood can extinguish

confirms the mystery of Assumption.

I am the virgin bride of Divine Wisdom.

An excerpt from Countenance and Heart of the Shaykh, an epic poem in Atom, by Shaykh Nur al-Jerrahi, may his soul be sanctified
