Happy Are You Poor...

"The faqir is one who has no need of God."

--Muzaffer Kermanshahi

Mentioned in Qushayri's Risalah (according to Javad Nurbakhsh).

The dervish renounces this world and the next for truth's sake.

O God grant me the riches of poverty,
For in such largesse lies my power and glory.

--Hafez (attributed)
