In love, nothing exists between heart and heart. Speech is born out of longing, ...// wow great introspective and insightful writings; love this mystical saint poetess always; love her life activities/// superb poem shared

One day the master of the house spied her at her devotions. There was a divine light enveloping her as she prayed. Shocked that he kept such a pious soul as a slave, he set her free. Rabia went into the desert to pray and became an ascetic. Unlike many sufi saints she did not learn from a teacher or master but turned to God himself. True Devotional by the great poetess Rabia Al Basri. A finestb read.

The one who tastes, knows; the one who explains, lies. How can you describe the true form of Something In whose presence you are blotted out? .........................Magnificently worded, a very precious classic poem of faith. About The Truth and nothing but The Truth.

Rabiyatul Adawiyya, the sufi mystic....... " O Lord, if I worship You because of Fear of, then burn me in; If I worship You because I desire Paradise, then exclude me from Paradise; But if I worship You for Yourself alone, then deny me not your Eternal Beauty

Beautiful, profound and spiritually significant poem.

This is really a beautiful poem on reality. Touchingly inscribed.

First poem of this poet for me, I must look up more

Heart to heart transaction without any intermediary is the true love. An enchanting poem and a classic indeed.

dang! this is the second poem, i think, by rabia al basri, that i've encountered here in ph, and i'm thinking i need to look her up in my local library catalog and, if there's a book by her or with her work, reserve it. so first, to ph, thanks for introducing her to me. this poem is packed with truth in its nine lines. lines 2-7 especially impact me. -gk

Beauty and depth, all enclosed within a few meaningful lines. Nicely crafted. Well done!

'How can you describe the true form of Something In whose presence you are blotted out? '.. is true. A beauty on love. Loved it.

Mohabbat main do dil jud jatay hain un k beech kuch nahin rehta

How can you describe the true form of Something, fine write

Beautiful poem. True to its core.

In love, nothing exists between heart and heart. //// beautiful expression O love is love love is love love is love no heart here is no soul here is no flesh here is no body here is nothing; nothing here is! this is love out of everything! untouched, unseen but known to all with belief.......!

Very insightful poem. Yes, how can the finite explain the infinite. Well said.
