Your Face of Lightning

Lesson 39: Your Face of Lightning

If anyone had once, even once, glimpsed Your Face of Lightning,
They'd spend every second stammering Your Praise.
Each moment, like the angels, they'd offer their heart to Your Fire,
Each moment, like the angels, they'd be reborn in You.

- Jalal-ud-Din Rumi
