Perfume of the Desert … Poetry

Tectonic

I have made You the Companion of my heart.
But my body is available to those who desire its company,

And my body is friendly toward its guest,
But the Beloved of my heart is the guest of my soul.

RabiĀ“a al-Adawiyya translation by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut –
'Perfume of the Desert'

Love,
Fatimah
