Except not a moment of peace from love of self,
except no lofty position from lack of will.
Worldliness brings no profit –
Become insignificant, seek no increase.
Sarmad, Martyr to Love Divine, 1st Edition (2005)
Death is hard on your trail in this wilderness–
the end of you and all that you amass.
Suffering at the beginning, regret at the end,
and in the end your attachment trample you.
Sarmad, Martyr to Love Divine, 1st Edition (2005)
O Beloved, in your mercy forgive me my sins
and accept my night-long weeping.
I live in bewilderment, full of transgressions–
Only your grace will bring me release.
Sarmad, Martyr to Love Divine, 1st Edition (2005)
In Life's experience of varied kinds, this have I seen:
Your grace, O Lord, far outweighs my sins.
Strange, your mercy has become my excuse for more transgressions–
The greater your generosity, the greater my sins!
Sarmad, Martyr to Love Divine, 1st Edition (2005)
