As this is now the celebration of the Urs of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (1238 – 1325 CE), the great Sufi master known as Mahbub-e-Ilahi, the beloved of God, this short passage from his conversations seems appropriate,

Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya spoke a while on the subject of the departure of the friends of God from this world. One of those present mentioned the name of a particular man and said that at the time of his death he was softly uttering the names of God. This moved Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya to tears and he recited the following quatrain:

I came to the end of Your street,
running, running.
Tears came down my cheek,
washing, washing.

Union with You, I am helplessly
seeking, seeking.
My soul I surrender while Your name I am
reciting, reciting.
