سوامی رام تیرتھ

توڑ دیتا ہے بت ہستی کو ابراہیم عشقہوش کا دارو ہے گویا مستی تسنیم عشق

English translation

The Ibrahim of Love is the destroyer of the idol of existence. The ecstasy of Tasnim* of Love is the cure of awareness.
(This verse is highly mystical. Tasnâm is one of the streams of Paradise. Ecstasy denotes perfection of Love and the ecstasy produced by the water of Tasnâm is the perfection of the Love of God. This perfection is the cure for the awareness which is an impediment to ecstasy resulting from the Love of God.

Translated by Dr M.A.K. Khalil
