Sufi Politics

With the hand of yearning, the foundation of the palace
~~~of Loving-kindness was built,
While joyously we demolished the edifice
~~~of "I and we."

We passed beyond the discerning mind
~~~of religion and nationality,
And with Love dispelled quantity and quality
~~~from the kingdom of the heart.

By remembrance of the Friend, we became liberated
~~~from the dangers of multiplicity
And carried our banner from the ocean of "no God"
~~~to the shore of "but God."
