Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai
(1689 - 1752)
If you are seeking Allah,
Then keep clear of religious formalities.
Those who have seen Allah
Are away from all religions!
Those who do not see Allah here,
How will they see Him beyond?
Let us go the land of Kak
Where love flows in abundance,
There are no entrances, no exits,
Every one can see the Lord!
There is no light nor day
Every one can see the Lord!
Those who love the Lord
The world cannot hold them.
Palaces do not attract them,
Nor women nor servants
Nothing binds them:The renouncers leave everything behind.
A message came from the Lord:A full moon shone
Darkness disappeared
A new message came from the Lord:It does not matter what caste you are
Whoever come, are accepted.
Where shall I take my camel,
All is Light...Inside there is Kak, mountain and valley,
The Lord and the Lord: there is nothing but the Lord.

-I have been reading up on Islamic history and came across a section about sufi's: personally I think some aspects are extreme [drunken sufi?] but I admire the mediatation and poetry to get closer to Allah.
Also I've heard of Rumi too so I'm putting up a link
