Ibn Khafaja

Summary

Ibn Khafaja Mountain Poem

How often have I been the refuge of the assassin, and the home of the sighing penitent who has set his heart on God?
How many sojourners, both homebound and outward bound, have passed my way? How many riders and mounts have claimed their siesta in my shade?
