All you speak about is the Beloved

by Farid ud-Din Attar


Original Language Persian/Farsi

All you speak about is the Beloved.
All you utter is to the Beloved.
Everything you want,
you seek from the Beloved.
Everything you seek,
you find through the Beloved.

-- from The Conferences of the Birds, by Attar / Translated by Sholeh Wolpé
