Mystical Persian Poem – O Lord, Do Not Send Me to Paradise Away from Your Door

This artwork expresses one of the deepest themes of Persian mystical poetry: the lover seeks neither reward nor paradise apart from the Beloved, but only the privilege of remaining close to the Divine Presence.

The dark bird, rendered with expressive brushstrokes, symbolizes the soul searching for its true home. The warm golden and amber background evokes love, hope, and spiritual light, while the contrast between darkness and light reflects the soul’s journey from the material world toward divine nearness.

Created through the fusion of Persian calligraphy, laser engraving, and hand painting, this artwork transforms a timeless mystical verse into a visual meditation on devotion. It reminds us that, in the language of the mystics, the greatest blessing is not paradise itself, but the nearness of the Beloved.
