Do not close the door of your heart
Read that glorious book,
A living book.
In every moment. In every crevice of life.
Quran, be read, from life to life
Like a beloved, like a beloved!
Sometimes in madness, sometimes silently.
Quran, be read, in breathing
Sometimes in love, sometimes in separation!
In every alley of feeling!
Let Al-Kitab be spoken!
From where it originated!
Quran, read, with the touch of your beloved!
Cover your hand in your fist!
Or in the depth of the kiss drawn on the forehead!
Or put your head on your chest and listen
The best Quran recitation in the world!
In love, draw the calligraphy of the Quran
On the heart’s surface! Across the walls of feelings!
Read the glorious book!
Looking into the eyes of your loved one!
Don’t hang the Quran anymore
in the display of your stupidity
Listen once, the intention is being
read in the heartbeat of a friend
Al-Quran. Al-Kitab!
Put your hand on the hand of your loved one once.
Look, the Kaaba is all around you!
The verses are constantly ringing all around!
Inside, outside.
How much longer will you be blinded by desire?
With a stone soul, you will never find
The Quran or Baitullah!
Don’t close the door of your heart!
Love once! Only love!
All the secrets of the world are constantly circling you!
