Baba Sheikh Farid: Life And Teachings, p. 11
“
I fear not the passing of youth if the
Beloved desert me not;
Youth withers and loses bloom without
the sustenance of Love...
Saith Farid: Sugar and candy, Sweets
and honey, rich milk–
All these Lord, are sweet; but nothing
to Try devotees so sweet as Thou.
