564-573

  • 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.
  • O Thou by whom my shop and dwelling is ruined, how shall not I wail when Thou rackest my heart? 570
  • How shall I flee (from Thee), since without Thee none liveth, and without Thy lordship no slave hath existence?
  • Take my life, O Source of my life, for without Thee I have become weary of my life.
  • I am in love with the art of madness, I am surfeited with wisdom and sagacity.
