Murmur of the breeze
Go and tell the fawn to find sweet water
Only intensifies my thirst
I have a beloved whose love inhabits my insides
Should he so desire
He might trample my cheek underfoot
His spirit is my spirit
And my spirit is His spirit
When He feels desire, I feel desire
When I feel desire He feels desire
Mansur al-Hallaj
(c. 858-922)
