The Ideal Relationship with Another Human

Clearly it is quite difficult to love other people for the sake of God rather than just for their own sake. And yet, the following poem has always moved me greatly; it paints the perfect image of what, for me, would be the ideal relationship.

The Day Sky
-Hafiz

Let us be like
Two falling stars in the day sky.

Let no one know of our sublime beauty
As we hold hands with God
And burn

Into a sacred existence that defies -
That surpasses

Every description of ecstasy
And love.
