Here are two verses from the highly respected patron saint of Kashmir, Nuruddin Rishi. For more about him, see this earlier post.

Remove the rust from
your heart as if from a mirror.
That is how you will be
acquainted with Him.
So youthful is your face and body.
Die before your death —
that is knowledge.

Truth is like gold forged in fire.
Awakened beings are radiant.
Lies are like illusion.
Don’t sow seeds that won’t sprout.

Translation Jaishree K. Odin
