Hazrat Bu Ali Shah Qalandar.
If I were to suddenly
See the King of the
Beauteous and bow
At his feet
Offering my life and heart.
I need not circumbulate
The Kaaba
As the countenance of
My beloved is my Kaaba.
I circumulate the
House of wine and
Kiss the feet of the
Intoxicated Ones!
I visit the Temple
Of the idolized
Sit in the presence
And prostrate before him.
I would trade
My Deen and Iman
If I met a buyer
I set aflame in
My heart and burn
The center of the world
To construct a new center
With the arch of the
Beauteous one’s eyebrow
Do not say
These words are kufr
For you this utter
Yourself will commit kufr
Begone you foolish beggar
Comprehend you not the
Secrets of the Worshippers.
My heart and soul
Circle around as
Wrapped around
My Beloved am I
Does the snake
See its coil as (rings/circles/coils)
Coiled up it sits!.
