Wonder (Arabic version)

Wonder, a song based on a famous poem by the Sufi master Ibn Arabi.
Sufism is not a branch of Islam, but the deep core engine of Islam, which deals with wisdom and truth at a very deep level, like the mysticism of every religion. A good analogy would be this: if Islam is the mathematics taught in elementary schools and in High schools, then Sufism would be the mathematics of post doctoral level.

All religions, at a very deep level, seem to converge towards the same thing, which is pure love, mercy, compassion and forgiveness. The core of this convergence is God, and He is the source of such a pure love. That's what Ibn Arabi is talking about in this poem, whose lyrics can be translated as follows:

There was a time I would not make an effort to know
those whose faith were not close to mine.
But now, my heart has grown tolerant
and capable of taking on all forms.
It is a pasture for gazelles,
An abbey for monks.
A table for the Torah.
Kaaba for the pilgrim.
My religion is love.
Whichever the route love's caravan shall take,
That is my religion, my creed and my faith
