“O You who are hidden within the hidden being of my existence.” ~Rumi
Compiled and written by: Nātiq Khamūsh (The Silent Speaker)
If you are freed from worldly attachments yet hear the unspoken secret,
Tell me: what was the inner sign of that silent speaker?
And if, like Jonah, you were freed from the prison of fish and sea,
Tell me—what was the meaning of that sea, its waves, and its raging?
In this ghazal, the exalted station of the human being is explained, and God calls the believers unto Himself. Beloved, how long will you remain
