LAYLA

Put aside your clever schemes!

O lover, be mindless! Become mad!

Dive into the heart of the flame!

Become fearless!Be like a moth!


Turn away from the self and tear down the house!

Then, come and dwell in the house of love!

Be a lover! Live with lovers!


Clean your chest from all hostility.

Wash it seven times.

Then, fill it with the wine of love!

Be a chalice for love! Be a chalice!


You must be all love to be worthy of the beloved.

When going to the gathering of drunks, be a drunk! Become drunk!


You thought takes a course dragging you in its wake.

Move beyond thought!

Let your heart lead! Be the leader!


When the grace of love is revealed, be a mirror to reflect it.

When the beloved´s hair is loosenes, brush it like a comb! Be a comb!
