El jardí­n amurallado de la verdad o Haqiqat, escrito en la priemra mitad del siglo XII por el poeta persa Hakim Sanai de Ghazna, es una obra maestra con la sutileza y la inspiración propias de los grandes escritos mí­sticos. difí­cilmente puede encontrarse un maestro mordaz que Sanai. Sus palabras, ni malintencionadas ni gratuitas, proceden de alguien que se ha visto a sí­ mismo. El conquistador del amor es aquel a quien el amor conquista. Aplí­cate, con pies y manos, a la búsqued; pero cuando llegues al mar, deja de hablar del río. -
The walled garden of truth or Haqiqat, written in the first half of the twelfth century by the Persian poet Hakim Sanai of Ghazna, is a masterpiece with the subtlety and inspiration of the great mystical writings. You can hardly find a scathing teacher that Sanai. His words, neither malicious nor gratuitous, come from someone who has seen himself. The conqueror of love is the one whom love conquers. Apply, with feet and hands, to the search; but when you get to the sea, stop talking about the river.
