Hazrat Khawaja Moinudeen Chishti,

Page 72 missing.

 

O Yousuf of

Kanaan

I am Yaqub

To you

 

Cover my

Weakened eyes

With your

Shirt!

 

Their desires

Every creature –

Ask of you

I only ask of you

For yourself!

 

O Beloved

You alone are

My purpose/goal/haven.

 

 

***************************

 

 

My heart

Can hold none

Besides my Friend

 

There can be

No second one

In the solitary

Abode of the

Sultan/King/Ruler.

 

Life accounts of

A hundred Intelligential

Men is done in

An Instant

At the Gathering/Final Gathering?

 

A single breath

Of a Lover

Cannot be accounted

In countless of Gatherings

 

The secrets of

Mansur

Is revealed by

A drop from

The Ocean of Love

 

The draught of

A Lover’s endurance

And courage

Cannot be held

In anything

Lesser than this!

 

Moinudeen –

If you too

Desire/wish to unveil/to voice

His secret

 

Then the only

Place for such

A head is the

Gibbet/on the block/gallows

As none other

Can contain that!
