To Be With God

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure

Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word

My choicest hours

Are the hours I spend with You --

O God, I can"t live in this world

Without remembering You--

How can I endure the next world

Without seeing Your face? I am a stranger in Your country

And lonely among Your worshippers:

This is the substance of my complaint.

Rabi"a
