Eyes are at rest, the stars are setting.
Hushed are the stirrings of birds in their nests
and of monsters in the sea.
You are the Just Who knows no change,
the Balance Who can never swerve,
the Eternal Who never passes away.
The doors of kings are bolted now
and guarded by soldiers.
Your door is open
to all who would call upon You.
Each love, my Lord, is now alone with his beloved,
and now I am alone with You.
-Rabi’ah al Adawiyya of Basra
