“Joy! Joy! I triumph! Now no more I know
Myself as simply me.”
Attar of Nishapur (1145–1230) Persian Sufi poet
"The Triumph of the Soul" as translated by Margaret Smith in The Persian Mystics
Context: Joy! Joy! I triumph! Now no more I know
Myself as simply me. I burn with love
Unto myself, and bury me in love.
The centre is within me and its wonder
Lies as a circle everywhere about me.
Joy! Joy! No mortal thought can fathom me.
