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

More quotes by Baba Farid

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.

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.
