सूफ़ि-सुभाषितम्
यदि नरकभयात्त्वां प्राप्नुयां हे प्रभो मां
प्रहिणु नरकमेव स्वर्गकामो व्रजेयं ।
भवतु मम निषिद्धः स्वर्गमार्गो यदि त्वाम्
अनुभवितुमहमिच्छुः स्वीकुरु त्वं द्रुतं माम् ॥
On the lines of the following Sufi thought:
If I adore You out of fear of Hell, burn me in Hell!
If I adore you out of desire for Paradise,
Lock me out of Paradise.
But if I adore you for Yourself alone,
Do not deny to me Your eternal beauty.
If I adore you out of desire for Paradise,
Lock me out of Paradise.
But if I adore you for Yourself alone,
Do not deny to me Your eternal beauty.
