Baba Sheikh Farid: Life And Teachings, p. 59
“
No night passes when my sorrow-stricken heart does not bleed,
No day I spend that does not completely divest me of honour,
Never in my life did I drink a draught of water in peace,
Which did not irrigate the dry earth through the channels of my eyes.
— Baba Farid
