It’s best that man
To God proclaims
His errors and shortcomings,
For no man has the capacity
To count His countless blessings.
—Sa’di Shirazi
The dark night of your hair
Is the day of salvation.
The raging fire of your love
Is the cooling stream of life!
— Nizami Ganjavi
O Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti,
Sultan of Hindustan, Friend of the Poor.
O Knower of Secrets, hidden and revealed,
Sultan of Hindustan, Friend of the Poor.
