ZAYNU’L-‘ÁBIDÍNBologna, 1 February 1999You did not reachyour journey’s goalon earth. You did not reachthat sea which roarsbeneath the wallsof the crimson City.Your body did not endurethat journey’s toils.But when you closedyour eyes for everto this life, your Best-Beloved came toward youfrom behind His veilsand the light of reuniondawned uponyour loving heart.You never came awayfrom that shiningPresence. There,you live now in joy,devoted and true,stainless and faithful.271
‘ABDU’LLÁH BAGHDÁDÍBologna, 12 February 1999O friend of joyyour thirst for blissis today appeasedthe wine you drinktoday does not makeyou lose your mindto make you wiseit closes your eyesto this worldand opens themto the Veilless Beauty.Today your feastsare celestial agapes.The gazelle-eyedmaids you invitetoday are the virtuesof your Lord. Brokenyour rusty fetters,your heart is boundtoday by the goldenchains of faithfulness.272
