Each Sacrifices What the Heart Loves Most
Each sacrifices what
the heart loves most, Imitating Abraham when he Delivered Isaac to the eternal host, Although with heavy heart, yet faithfully. Love does not grasp, but gives away all things, Aware of something holy in its fire, Destined to retain the gifts it brings, Having first relinquished the desire, As Allah gives one all one would require.
