Scroll down to the translation of the Arabic text! Click here to The Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi Society.

And here is the Black and White version to colour!

Receptive Now Is My Heart...

Receptive now my heart is for each form;
For gazelles pasture, for monks a monastery,
Temple for idols, Kabah to be rounded,
Tables of Torah and script of Quran.
My religion is love's religion: wherever turn
Her camels, that religion my religion is, my faith.
