• Stay close by the door, if you desire all beauty
  And leave aside sleep, if you wish to arrive
  And make of the spirit your first place of account
  To the beloved, whose lights shine as from gold
  All of them worship out of fear of the fire �
  And consider deliverance abundant good fortune -
  Or, so they may dwell in the gardens, and reach
  To the meadows of paradise, and there drink from its rivers
  Of gardens or fire I have no opinion
  I seek no exchange for my dearest love

  Rabia Basri
