   Sit no longer unheeding; if thou hast water pour it out on the threshold of the Heart.    In the curve of this lovely azure dome, sing the beautiful song of the Heart.     Escape from the senses which are the robbers. The Heart knows thy road, know thou the Heart.    These heavenly wayfarers who are free from the body, have fastened the pinions of the Archangel Gabriel to their Hearts,    And he who has abandoned both worlds, receives nourishment by begging at the door of the Heart.     If this material water and clay were the Heart, thou must admit that the ass also has a Heart.     All creatures live in virtue of their life; live thou by the Heart, that is true life.

Nizami Ganjavi, from ‘Describing the night and cognizing the heart‘ in Makhzanol Asrar: The Treasury of Mysteries, trans. Gholam Hosein Darab, lines 554-60.
