How long will you keep pounding on an open door Begging for someone to open it?
I will not serve Allah like a laborer, in expectation of my wages.
I seek forgiveness from Allah for the lack of my sincerity when I say I seek the forgiveness of Allah
How many gifts and graces You have given me! How many favors You have fed me from your hand! I look for your love in all directions, then suddenly its blessing burns in me.
True devotion is for itself: not to desire heaven nor to fear hell.
O God! if I worship Thee in fear of Hell, burn me in Hell; and if I worship Thee in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise; but if I worship Thee for Thine own sake, withhold not thine everlasting beauty.
