"Every day is the day of festivity
When I see
with an eye refreshed
the beauty of Her face;
Every night is the Night of Power
when She draws near,
and every day we meet
is one of union— Holy Friday."
— Ibn al-Farid

"For I am the first and the last. (...)
I am the whore & the holy one. (...)
I am unlearned,
& they learn from me. (...)
I am the one whom you have hidden from,
& you appear to me.
Whenever you hide yourselves,
I myself will appear.
Whenever you appear,
I myself will hide."
