My heart has become able
To take on all forms.
It is a pasture for gazelles,
For monks, an abbey.

It is a temple for idols
And for whoever circumvent it, the Kaaba.
It is the tablets of the Torah
And also the pages of the Koran!

I believe in the religion
Of Love
Whatever direction its caravans may take,
For love is my religion and my faith.
