A seeker would naturally see the shell when he comes seeking the pearl. The same applies to pilgrim of love in the quest for love of Meem.
I came by the river
Why not pass by the canoe
I came for the pearl
Why not feel the shell
I came for the rose
Why not listen to the nightingale
I came for the Green Dome
Why not visit the Black Square too
Swear I upon
The Meem dear
Nothing in this world
Is to me as near
O Most-Forgiving
Let go my shortcoming:
When love dominates
Sanity mine annihilates

MashaAllah!!
The love for the divine, the madness, the never ending spiritual quest, truly annihilates sanity. The love of Almighty & the bond we form with him, creates the foundation for all other bonds we form with his creations in our lifetime. Like Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi says, “All loves are a bridge to Divine love. Yet, those who have not had a taste of it do not know!”
The beauty that arises out of these words is ethereal. The humble submission to Almighty & our Rasool justifies the need of our existence.
