The mystic and poet Sarmad may have been an Armenian Jew born in Persia. His birth date is unknown, but he ended his days in 1659, condemned to death by the Emperor Aurangzeb. For more about him, see this earlier post.

The ocean of his generosity has no shore.
The tongue is powerless to thank,
the heart too bewildered to understand.
Though my sins are many
his compassion is greater still–
I swim in the sea of disobedience
but I do not drown.

Translation Isaac A. Ezekiel
