O you who deny me the purity of union,
O withholder of the sweetness of union
And grant me the murk of rejection,
And giver of the bitterness of separation

The world has not grown too narrow for me,
The world has not become constricted for me
For it has contained al-Sadid’s nose.
Though it contains many noses
