No night passes when my sorrow-stricken heart does not bleed,
No day I spend that does not completely divest me of honour,
Never in my life did I drink a draught of water in peace,
Which did not irrigate the dry earth through the channels of my eyes.

More quotes by Baba Farid

Lord, give it not to me to
Supplicate favours at another's door;
Should such be Thy will,
Take then life from this body.

Farid, time was when these frail thighs
scoured over desert and hill;
Now, feeble with age even the prayer-jug
looks as though lying miles away.
