Someone came to the Beloved's door and knocked. A voice asked, 'Who is it?' The lover replied, 'It's me.' The voice said, 'Leave, there's no room for both of us.' The lover came again, knocked, and the voice asked, 'Who is it?' This time, the lover said, 'It's you.' The voice replied, 'Enter, for I am already inside.'
