Another person whose tomb I visited in the summer and had no idea could spit it like this!
Nasir Khursaw addressing the world says:
O World, you may not have lasted more than the usual fourscore and ten, but still you are necessary. You may be as wretched as a thorn on the eye, but essentially you are as necessary as sight itself. You may have broken, but you have mended as well. Like a chameleon you take on the color of corruption from the corrupt, but to the pure you are pure. To those who despise you say You have not known me. If you are modest and sedate you will find me modest and sedate as well. I gave you righteousness but you sought from me only ill. If you are wise you will be saved from me. Why hate that from which you have been saved? God has given me to you as a thoroughfare—-why do you loiter along the way? You are a branch of the tree God planted for your sake - if you grow up crooked, you will end up in the fireplace—-grow straight and you will be saved. Yes, crookedness will land you in the flames, and non one will ask if you were almond or pistachio. You are the arrow of GOd to His enemies—-why have cut yourself on your own point?
- Shaykh Farid ud Din al Attar
