Your dwelling is found only in these few places: either in the Kaaba and the temple, or in the eyes and heart of the lover.

The poet lovingly ponders where the divine or the Beloved truly dwells in this vast universe. While tradition searches in sacred shrines like the Kaaba or the temple, this sher gently places the lover’s tearful eyes and longing heart on that very same holy pedestal. It carries the warm Sufi idea that the Almighty isn't lost in the far reaches of the cosmos, but finds a home either in places of worship or within a deeply devoted soul.
