Reflections, ayahs and hadiths on this topic
من چه گویم یک رگم هشیار نیست
شرح آن یاری که او را یار نیست‌‌

'What can I say when not a single vein of me remains sober? How can I describe a friend who himself has no equal or peer?'

Couplet 130 · The Story of the King and the Handmaiden
گه چنین بنماید و گه ضد این
جز که حیرانی نباشد کار دین‌‌

At times, the action of God shows itself thus, and at other times, the very opposite; the work of religion is nothing but bewilderment.

Couplet 312 · The Story of the Greengrocer and the Parrot
نی چنان حیران که پشتش سوی اوست
بل چنین حیران و غرق و مست دوست‌‌

Not the bewilderment of one who has turned his back on Him, but rather the bewilderment of one drowned in God and intoxicated with the Beloved.
