For more about the Persian Sufi, mathematician and jurist Ayn al-Quzat Hamadani (1098 – 1131 CE) see this earlier post.
Within the eye of the eye
I placed an eye
polished and adorned
with her beauty
but suddenly fell
into the Quarter of Perfection
and now am freed from sight,
from even the eye of contemplation.
Translation Peter Lamborn Wilson and Nasrollah Pourjavady
