Abu al Hassan al Shustari (1203–1269 CE) was born in the province of Granada, and became a highly influential poet and mystic, travelling from Andalusia to North Africa and Mecca. He was influenced by several Sufi schools, including the Surawardi and the Shadiliyya Orders. He is buried in Cairo.

You who look in the mirror.
     Do you see whom you see there?
Is the looker someone other than you,
     or a reflection of your fantasy?
Turn your glance toward the glance itself,
     for it holds wisdom concealed from the others.
When day breaks, may people
     praise the night’s journey.
