Sadi, Sheykh Moslehoddin (1184-1291)

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MERCIFUL THE CLEMENT

Laudation to the God of majesty and glory! Obedience to him is a cause of approach and gratitude in increase of benefits. Every inhalation of the breath prolongs life and every expiration of it gladdens our nature; wherefore every breath confers two benefits and for every benefit gratitude is due.

         Whose hand and tongue is capable

         To fulfill the obligations of thanks to him?   

 Words of the most high: Be thankful, O family of David, and but few of my servants are thankful.

        It is best to a worshipper for his transgressions

        To offer apologies at the throne of God,

        Although what is worthy of his dignity

        No one is able to accomplish.

Those who attend permanently at the temple of his glory confess the imperfection of their worship and say: We have not worshipped thee according to the requirements of thy worship; and those who describe the splendor of his beauty are rapt in amazement saying: We have not known thee as thou oughtest to be known.

           If someone asks me for his description,

           What shall I despairing say of One who has no form?

          The lovers have been slain by the beloved.

          No voice can come from the slain.
