| When forgiven by a friend... ------------------------------- http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/forgiven.htm Oh! This hypocrite is forgiven By the one To whom pain he'd given. For a sinner of his stature A great relief this is for sure! Long had be been waiting (That) why this miracle was be-lating (Because) At morn and night He's used to reciting- 'Ya Badee'al Ajaaib! Bil Khairi ya Badee' ' In YOUR sight Nothing is ghaaib About sounds loud and quiet YOU are As-Samee' Oh! This hypocrite is forgiven From the one to whom pain he'd given For a sinner of his stature A great relief this is for sure NOW... His hands may Allah restrain (from errors)! His heart may Allah NOT constrain! May his ambitions never drain! Nor any harm upon him strain! NOW... That from the One on earth He's been forgiven, He can now now dare to raise His hands towards the Heaven and beg HIM to be forgiven! BUT... Like that 'Seeker of Babylon' He is in want of a moon Very very soon... To reflect upon HIS Signs and for his heart to cleanse When asked Khalil For the life and death to reveal He was certainly not in doubt About His Glory and Might Rather... That 'Friend of Lord' Only wanted to strengthen his faith On the Lord who made life and death. Oh! This hypocrite is forgiven From the one to whom pain he'd given For a sinner of his stature A great relief this is for sure STILL... He is keeping his heart alive, As a bee remaining busy in the hive. This and that, Like a starving rat Feeding on worldly things He is trying to survive The food of his soul is gone He is damned back to the worldly zone Expelled from that Fearful Town His heart has hardened to a stone. Day and night he is in constant moan Ah! This dog has lost his only bone. O Reader! Weep not for this poet Nor for his blood-like plight For he's against the old world (of imitation) He is up in rebellious riot! Forget this poem For your heart it will give Nothing but unbearable mayhem This is no lullaby That is full of melody. How very funny- (that) From the one accused of felony You are expecting harmony? Forget these lines It doesn't matter If in you heart Nothing ever remains. Oh! This hypocrite is forgiven From the one to whom pain he'd given For a sinner of his stature A great relief this is for sure O Reader! Although a sinner in despise, Take it from me This handsome advice For it you pay no price Those words of Umar- The poet-like Qazi from the heart of Malabar "The love and praise of Our Sire[saw] is great indeed (in Allah's eyes) That HE may fulfill your desire For which you are in need" O Reader! Although a sinner in despise Take it from me This handsome advice For it you pay no price- Remember that Green Dome of Madina! Ah! Of that Adorable Son of Amina![saw] When my greetings Are sent on Madina My whole life becomes A beautiful Tasbih in Qarina All this and more... Among HIS wonders Of the Originator of Wonders Praised be HIS MERCY! Praised be HIS GLORY! Oh! This hypocrite is forgiven From the one to whom pain he'd given For a sinner of his stature A great relief this is for sure. What can I say, O my treasured friend! With me is just a tiny heart. To thank HIM and praise HIM, I don' know where to start! On your lips I am hearing Those words of Rabia, That priceless gem of of Basra, Who never wore an earring. To whom His Fear was most dear When the mystics saw her as a seer. "God be praised that He conferred His grace On us that we could pass The whole night in prayers. As a mark of gratitude, Let us pass the whole day in fasting." Oh! This hypocrite is forgiven From the one to whom pain he'd given For a sinner of his stature A great relief this is for sure.
