Hazrat Abdul Rahman Jami. 1.
With your charm
And beauty
What an uproar
You have caused
In the world
Absorbed in
Lamentation is
Every wounded Heart!
Slayed am I
By the enchanting
Demeanor of
The Beautiful ones
Sans reason
Sans fault
Of mine!
Yourself wielded
The sword
Others you
Blamed
O saintly one
Senseless was I
With the
One cup you
Presented me
Making restless
And impatient
My heart!
2.
You sift/ sort through
And select pearls
Saying it
Is from you
To the
Onlookers
You are veiled
From the world…
You stay before
The mirror
And display the
Mirror yourself
A glimpse
Of such a show
Stirs the passion
Of the audience
Universal!/in the universe.
Helpless is
Jami
Madly in love
With you…
Your passionate
Devotee in exile
Hidden/Concealed in
Dust he lays/lies
