Here a medieval Muslim mystic records his living meditation on becoming one with God, where he likens himself to a moth leaping into flame:
In that bright instant, wings aflame,
Reduced to fragments of his name,
The moth-ash shows his body’s form
Where no mark will distinguish him.
Rumi wrote three centuries later on Al-Hallaj’s words, ‘I am God,’: “People imagine that it is a presumptive claim, whereas I find it is really a presumptive claim to say ‘I am the slave of God’; for, ‘I am God’ is an expression of great humility. The man who says ‘I am the slave of God’ affirms two existences, his own and God’s; but he that says, ‘I am God,’ has made himself non-existent and has given himself up, and says ‘I am God,’ that is, ‘I am naught, He is all; there is no being but God’s.’ This is the extreme of humility and self-abasement.”
Working from the original Persian sources, translators and scholars David and Sabrineh Fideler offer faithful, elegant translations that represent the full scope of Sufi poetry.

Both witty and profound, worldly and spiritual, The Conference of the Birds transforms deep belief into magnificent poetry.
