He who tasted the everlasting love
Shall be the sincere friend to all the slaves
He who tasted the everlasting love
Shall belittle himself to all the slaves
He who tasted the everlasting love
Shall be the solace on the paths of the slaves
He who tasted the everlasting love
Shall be intimate with the Lord of the slaves
(Dhun-Nun al- Misri)
Shall be the sincere friend to all the slaves
He who tasted the everlasting love
Shall belittle himself to all the slaves
He who tasted the everlasting love
Shall be the solace on the paths of the slaves
He who tasted the everlasting love
Shall be intimate with the Lord of the slaves
(Dhun-Nun al- Misri)
