Mojud

I AM THINE AND THOU ART MINE

The poem
Eternal Life is gained by utter abandonment of one’s own life. When God appears to His ardent lover, the lover is absorbed in Him, and not so much as a hair of the lover remains. True lovers are as shadows, and when the sun shines in glory the shadows vanish away. He is a true lover to God to whom God says “I am thine and thou art Mine.”
