Hazrat Nasirudin Chirag Dehlavi.
Insignificant as
A dash/dot am I
Useful yet of no value.
Just as a book
Has speech
So also both
Vocal and silent
Am I.
O one who sees
Only the façade
You inquire of me
About the power
Of Allah?
I am in Him
He is in me
Just as the
Fragrance is in
The Rose.
Joyful am I sometimes
Baneful I am at
Other times…
Unaware of my condition
Am I.
Sometimes I laugh
Other times I cry
Like does an
Infant in his sleep.
Flows an ocean
From my eyes
But unmoistened
Are my lips.
Though submerged
In water they are
A secret - a marvel
It is – my lips remain dry!
Nasirudin’s Heart
Can contain naught
But Love…
See the unique marvel
The ocean held
Within the bubble!
