Hazrat Sheikh Saadi.

 

You are the

King of my heart

This beggar’s

Grandeur it is…

 

The dust of

My beloved’s street

Awards me

This Status…

 

Masjid need not I

To make my

Prostration/to kneel

My beloved’s eyebrow

Is my House of God!

 

Assassinated/slain -I wallow

In dust and blood

The world looks on

My condition this…

 

I endure

Your rosy lips

Lovingly you slay

Right here

Is Kerbala!

 

I grieve/lament

The separation

He speeds away

He ignores me

Knowing well my

Condition…what

Kind of Friendship

Is this!

 

Saad useless it is

To don the Ihram

To circumbulate

The Kaaba

 

Gaze at the

Friend’s/Beloved’s

Countenance and

Find here both

The Kaaba and

Mount Safa.
