The heart left, and the Friend is (also) gone...by Sheikh Ansari

The heart left,
and the Friend is (also) gone.

I don't know whether I should go after the Friend
or after the heart !

A voice spoke to me:
"Go in pursuit of the Friend,

Because the lover needs a heart
in order to find union with the Friend.

If there was no Friend,
what would (the lover) do with (his) heart ?"
