Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 Expression Of Inner Love =========================== It should be known that even though love is concealed and hidden and internal action of the heart, however it has numerous effects and clear proofs and many branches. Love resembles a full grown tree having multicolored flowers on its branches.
Some of its effects are displayed through the tongue and some effects through the other physical organs of man; and just as you cannot prevent a tree from putting forth flowers, in the same way you cannot restrain a lover from expressing his love. They say that the sorrow of love is hidden in the breast How can I conceal a raging fire with cotton? How nicely the poet says: If I try to conceal my love, my tears start speaking due to the pain of what I have concealed.
When I display it, instead of deriving any benefit I am disgraced. And when I hide it, my tears do not remain concealed. But I complain in the court of the Almighty about that which I suffer by the prolongation of grief and unending tears. And in the same way, just as the older the tree grows, the more flowers and buds it puts forth. In the same way the stronger the friendship and love, more numerous and pronounced are the effects and signs.
Among the effects of love on the eyes is sleeplessness and weeping. A person who is having this type of nostalgia has versified it as follows: If eyes weep blood in separation, you’ll see in my eyes continuous blood. Abul Abbas Mubarrad has said in the opening lines of a panegyric: I wept so much that ruins also wept on my condition and my enemies also wept due to my weeping when my friends deserted me.
And among the effects of love on the tongue is constant remembrance of the beloved in every condition and that which proves this are the words of Allah in Hadith Qudsi addressed to Prophet Moosa (as) in which He said: “My remembrance is good in every condition.” I say: Yes, the people who pay attention are like this only.
