NECTAR OF LIFE
Just near the middle point-
Qāba Qawseini Aw-Adnā-
Where the two bows meet,
There is to be found
The lamp of radiant light;
And the soul's orchestra:
Where the wondorous sound,
Sprouts from each pore
Without striking a chord
The soul sings in delight
And effulges so much light
That the sun and the moon are lost
Just near this spot is to be found,
The spring of life, called al-Kauthar
That gushes out the nectar of life,
And makes the drinker immortal
This is the mysterious valley of Zulumāt-
Where Moses did go with Shamūn
In search of āb-e-hayāt,
But he missed to have a sip
