Amir Khusrow Dehlavi QUOTES

1 " My heart gave me no respite,
I was like a madman last night.
All night I was beguiled,
Indulged and fantasized.

The flame of Love
In my heart burnt bright
And I was a moth
That on the flame alights… "

― Amir Khusrow Dehlavi

2 " …The heart, the body and the soul
By her thought was consumed whole;
The only one left untouched
Was I alone, and none to console.

In front of the Beloved
I did not mention Khusrow’s faults;
Entranced by her beguiling beauty
I forgot my honest duty! "

― Amir Khusrow Dehlavi

3 " …[F]or the Lovers the place of worship
Is the arch of the Beloved’s eyebrows.

O Morning breeze, if you perchance
Should find where my Beloved dwells,
Search in her dark tresses
Our broken hearts entangled there…”
