Ó Deus!
Ahmad Vali:
Uma busca espiritual que dissolve as fronteiras entre o eu e o divino


Dissolvendo-me silenciosamente e apagando a mim mesmo,
procurei por ti.
Esgotado em meu caminho até ti,
fiquei para trás, enquanto tua misericórdia —
permaneceu como tu.
Agora não há dervixe,
nem mendicante, nem tigela de mendigo.
Em toda parte, há somente tu,
a plenitude do teu vazio.
Ahmad Vali

O God
Melting silently and effacing myself,
I searched for you.
Depleted on my way to you,
I stayed behind as your mercy–
lingered as you.
Now there is no darwish,
no mendicant, nor any beggar’s bowl.
Everywhere, it is only you,
the fullness of your emptiness.
Ahmad Vali
