Two years ago, Egyptian author Osama El Sawy published a mystic poetry collection entitled "Qalbi Yohadethni Be Enak Motlefi" (My Heart Told Me that You Are Its Destructive).
The book is based on collecting a number of the most-celebrated mystic poems by the figures of Sufi writings such as Ibn Arabi, Ibn El Fared, Abdel Qader El Jilani, and El Shoshtary.
El Sawy thoroughly selects the poems of his book, therefore, they have the same mood, themes, and style. Moreover, the selected poems' diction was somehow close to each other.
The reader can distinguish the repetition of certain words through the poems that belong to various authors.
Of course, mystic poetry has certain features, but there are various mystic tendencies for it for example Madih, Divine Love, and Wine poetry.
So, El Sawy did good work in choosing various selections that have the same color and mood.
Moreover, he makes sure to overview mystic poets from different regions for example Ibn El Khaimy from Yemen, El Shoshtary from Andalusia, and the Egyptian Ibn El Fared. Also, he mentioned a female mystic author who is Rabia El Adaweya.
The spiritual fusion of words, sounds, and images can bruce the soul of the reader and make the reader pe into the mysterious worlds of pine love.
Furthermore, it can give the reader a different reading experience especially the book sets enjoyable choices to read such as "Salabat Laila Meni El Akl" (Laila Stole My Mind) which was turned into a song by the famous mystic group Ibn Arabi Ensemble.

Another choice is El Hallag's "Ma Talaet Shmas" (The Sin Doesn't Rise Until) which is used as a theme song of famous Egyptian mystic series "El Khawaga Abdel Qader" starring the epic Yehia El Fakhrani.
