    About this ebook

    These love songs are, of course, Sufi poems, and a few odds and ends formed out of that same Source of all joy. They follow no formal rhyme or metre, except when they do, and have only the path of love as a common theme. They speak of Divine Love, the harmony of all living beings, and wonder and awe experienced by those that follow the Sufi traditions.
