A poem written by Prof. Dr. Anne Marie Schimmel: DUNE

Majnun’s letter to Layla

I love you so much –
But you are a scent
which fade away
when the night is spent.

I love you so much –
but you are a song
on everyone’s lips –
and the nights are long.

I love you so much –
but you are a dune
ever new shifting sand,
ever new changing moon…

And I count the stars,
And I am that tune,
And I am the scent,
And the silvery dune…
