Hazrat Amir Khusroe.

 

A disbeliever

Am I

No need of

Faith do I have!

 

Every nerve

Of mine is

Twisted

No need of

The sacred thread

Do I have…

 

O foolish

Medicant/healer

Arise and leave

My bedside

 

For there is

No cure/prescription

For the patient

Struck by love

Save a

Glimpse of

The beloved!

 

Take joy

O heart of mine

For tomorrow

Is love’s meeting.

 

Tidings there are

Of being slayed

No promise

Of a Beholding!

 

The needy/indigent

Have no need

Of visiting

The garden

Are wounded hearts

Display splash

Of color compared

To any Gardens!

 

No sage

Or savant

Do I need to

Steer my boat

Not any

As we have

God and need

No other Captain.

 

People say

Khusroe

Worships idols

Yes…Yes I do

I have naught

To do with

The world and

Its people/creatures.
