| I saw a light... [ http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/light.htm ] [img]http://www.jaihoon.com/pics/rbowgold.gif[/img] Few days back I had my luck A noble light I saw As with pink does the horizon glow Ever since the light passed in front Tears are flowing without any end Why? Such Fearful faith- I am in lack Robbed of His Love, My soul is black Why? In that light is a noble silence In me is an impatient voice By End and Means This light shines like a lance To reach such a stage It seems I will take years For a while I dwelt on that Dream-like light Then, I thought about the One Who made that light so bright Who gave it eyes so chaste? Who gave it a heart that with beauty lasts? Who adorned it with a garment so modest? Who put in its mouth words so honest? Such a beauty is of its own? Or from the faith of the Only One? The light continued to shine As if like a pearl from a goldmine I thought about the Noorun-ala-Noor Who fashioned this earthly noor And then decided- Forget the gift Remember the Giver Forget the rose Remember the Gardener But- A rose remains a rose Although the same depth Of its Him-Loving faith I cannot reach across Therefore, From a very long before My heart has become sore To be like that Sweet Rose Who in my heart did His Love arouse I am trying my level best To win the bewildering Devil test As did Mustafa speak At every moment, that Beloved's ways do I mimic For all night long In prayers do I sob Like a beggar do I linger At the gates of His Favor Ah! I know for sure The more Him I ask The easier will be my task. The more favors I need The greater will He provide I am trying my level best Soiled I am though by the sinful dust Toiling along without any rest Before Him do I lay my request Why? So that one day I too can boldly say 'My Merciful Him Who Loves me." - JAIHOON ::) |
