lyrics

From a Persian mystic poem and quoted by His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh in The Valley of Love section of The Seven Valleys:

A lover is he who is chill in hell fire;
A knower is he who is dry in the sea.

From a poem by 14thC Persian poet Ḥáfiẓ and quoted in The Valley of Unity section of The Seven Valleys by Bahá’u’lláh:

How shall a curtain part the lover and loved one?
Not Alexander's wall can seperate them!
