LI I. 129. sakhiyo, ham hûn bhâî vâlamâs’î

DEAR friend, I am eager to meet my Beloved! My youth has flowered, and the pain of separation from Him troubles my breast. I am wandering yet in the alleys of knowledge without purpose, but I have received His news in these alleys of knowledge. I have a letter from my Beloved: in this letter is an unutterable message, and now my fear of death is done away. Kabîr says: “O my loving friend! I have got for my gift the Deathless One.”
