I heard Your name in the sacred sanctuary and saw Your trace in the idol-temple; in short, wherever I looked, I saw none other than You.

This couplet captures the heart of Sufi thought, dissolving the rigid walls between religions with effortless grace. The poet hears God’s name in the sacred shrine and discovers traces of the very same presence inside the idol-temple. Ultimately, it is a realization that when you look at the world through the lens of true love, the entire universe reflects nothing but the face of the one Beloved.
