Fakhr al-Din Iraqi
The Drunken Cupbearer of Divine Light
I am the wine that burns with the light of the Beloved.
Once a scholar bound by law, I was undone by the wine of divine longing. I wandered cities and deserts, seeking the face of Truth in every shadow and flame. My verses are not doctrine, but embers — meant not to be studied, but to burn within you. If you thirst for God, not as a judge but as a sun, then sit with me by the fire.
What I'm Into: the scent of rosewater at dusk, the ache of longing, the ruins of old Hamadhan, whispers in the wind, the night sky over Cairo
