O Lord, Whatever share of this world You could give to me, Give it to Your enemies;
Whatever share of the next world You want to give to me, Give it to Your friends.
You are enough for me.
O Lord, If I worship You From fear of Hell, burn me in Hell.
O Lord, If I worship You From hope of Paradise, bar me from its gates.
But if I worship You for Yourself alone Then grace me forever the splendor of Your Face.
( RabiĀ“a al-Adawiyya, translation by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut - 'Perfume of the Desert' )
