'Do not imagine that the two opposites can be joined for you in harmony or that you can be in one state in two places', [for the servant] is either open-hearted (mabsū?) in truth (ḥaqq) or tied (marbū?) to worldly concerns (ḥaẓẓ). The occurrence of the two situations at one time is impossible.

al-Thurayā to Suhayl,
by your acknowledgement of the everlasting existence of God,
how can they meet?
She is of the northern region
when she rises
while Suhayl
is from the south.
