11 verses by Rabia Basri...

Let me hide in You
From everything
that distracts me from You,
From everything that comes in my way
When I want to run to You.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The real work is in the Heart:
Wake up your Heart!
Because when the Heart is completely awake,
Then it needs no Friend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have two ways of loving You:
A selfish one
And another way that is worthy of You.
In my selfish love,
I remember You and You alone.
In that other love, You lift the veil
And let me feast my eyes on
Your Living Face.
That I remember You always,
or that I see You face-to-face--
No credit to me in either:
The credit is to You in both.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May God steal from you
All that steals you from Him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O God!
If I adore You out of fear of Hell,
burn me in Hell!
If I adore You out of desire for Paradise,
Lock me out of Paradise.
But if I adore You for Yourself alone,
Do not deny to me Your eternal beauty
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O God,
You know that the only thing
I want in this life
Is to be obedient to Your command.
Even the living sight of my eyes
Is service at your court.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Joy
My Hunger
My Shelter
My Friend
My Food for the Journey
My Journey's End
You are my breath,
My hope,
My companion,
My craving,
My abundant wealth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one who explains, lies.
How can you describe
the true form of Something
In whose presence you are blotted out?
And in whose being you still exist?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I look everywhere for your love--
Then suddenly I am filled with it.
O Captain of my Heart,
Radiant Eye of Yearning in my breast...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I swear that ever since the first day
You brought me back to life,
The day You became my Friend,
I have not slept --
And even if You drive me from your door,
I swear again that we will never be separated--
Because You are alive in my heart.
