560-569

  • Crying, “My back is broken by the contradictions (conflicting motives) in my heart: come, O Beloved, rub Thy hand on my head. 560
  • Under Thy hand my head hath a (great) relief (from pain): Thy hand is a miracle in bestowing favour.
  • Do not take away Thy shadow (protection) from my head: I am restless, restless, restless.
  • (All) sorts of sleep have quitted mine eye in my passion for Thee, O Thou who art envied by the cypress and the jasmine.
  • Though I am not deserving (of Thy favour), what matter if for a moment Thou ask after an unworthy one (who is) in a (great) anguish?”
  • What right (to Thy favour), forsooth, had Not-being, to which Thy grace opened such doors? 565
  • (Thy) bounty touched (embraced) the mangy earth and put in its bosom ten pearls of the light of sensation—
  • Five outward senses and five inward senses—whereby the dead semen was made Man.
  • Repentance without Thy blessing, O sublime Light, what is it but to laugh at the beard of repentance?
  • Thou dost tear the moustaches of repentance piecemeal: repentance is the shadow and Thou art the shining moon.
