ليت شعري هل دروا

السياق · The story

While Ibn Arabi was performing Tawaf around the Sacred House in Mecca and experiencing a sublime spiritual state, he recited these verses to himself. He was suddenly approached by a remarkably beautiful and refined Roman slave girl named Qurrat al-Ayn, who engaged him in a subtle critique of the meanings in his poetry. He later came to know her well and witnessed her profound spiritual insights.
