Hormuz The Rainbow Island

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don&#39;t finally meet somewhere. They&#39;re in each other all along.

Oh Cup-bearer, set my glass afire with the light of wine!

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.

Hormuz Island from sea

The gifts of lovers to one another are, in respect to love, nothing but forms; yet, they testify to invisible love.

What shall I say, O Muslims, I know not myself, I am neither a Christian, nor a Jew, nor a Zoroastrian, nor a Muslim.

Beg of God the removal of envy, that God may deliver you from externals, and bestow upon you an inward occupation, which will absorb you so that your attention is not drawn away.

Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, for that tongue of yours is the enemy of the soul, my friend. When the lips are silent, the heart has a hundred tongues.

Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers.

An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity.

I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew.

May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day in paradise.
