Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani
May Allah Sanctify His Noble Secret
O you who've gone on pilgrimage
-- where are you? Where, O where?
Here, here is the Beloved
-- O come now, come, O come!
Your friend, he is your neighbor,
He is next to your house --
You, erring in the desert
-- What air of love is this?
Rumi, Divan.
