"Looking For Your Own Face" as translated by Coleman Barks in The Hand of Poetry: Five Mystic Poets of Persia
Context: Don't be dead or asleep or awake.
Don't be anything.
What you most want,
what you travel around wishing to find,

“Love plays its lute behind the screen —
where is a lover to listen to its tune?”
Fakhruddin Iraqi: Divine Flashes (1982)
