In search of Him-Arousing Honey ------------------------------------------ http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/sincewhen.htm Ever since when, O Jaihoon Did this death-in-life happen? Your touching words used to make others cry But now for single drop of tear do you vainly try Day and night you run like a dog to earn bread And in the night you fall asleep like half-dead! Ever since when, O Jaihoon Did this death-in-life happen? Your eyes are dried The fire in you has died You are like a rotten crop With no harvest of any yield! The stars in the night are eagerly watching- Where is the face which to the ground was reaching? Where is the run of those midnight beads- Which this servant with his right hand reads Ever since when, O Jaihoon Did this death-in-life happen? You dreamt of making a Him-Loving fort And towards it the believers would you escort But you are now indulged in the worldly game Leisure has in fact caused you soul to be lame How much do you really pay any heed- To the teachings of your wonderful creed You are a victim of the Accursed Devil's greed- For he has sworn to make men with sins bleed What would you do in this dark moment- What excuse will you before Him present? You are casually blind to His numerous favors He made fortune at your doorstep run like rivers What is the fun to ask for blessings more When you realize not what you received before Ever since when, O Jaihoon Did this death-in-life happen? Never before were you to the Merciful so ungrateful For a single Dream you would thankfully weep night-full Your envious state was a mystery to your own self A little book for others you were on His Love-full shelf The Green Dome occupied most of your time In word and deed, your soul would with it try to rhyme Ah! Lord knows how many angels did around you freely surround In those days when with His Beloved's [saw] love your caravan was mount Ever since when, O Jaihoon Did this death-in-life happen? Your precious Dream Treasure is now fatefully lost 'My Merciful Him' such a pearl is no longer at your coast Not every time Destiny brings to shore such a Him-Fearing Pearl Not every time will Fortune keep sailing to your heart's mole O Reader! This hypocrite is like a restless bee In search he is for the smell of Him-arousing honey Let this search be of some benefit to His Lovers As well as those whose hearts with His Fear shivers. - Jaihoon ::) Notes ...face which to the ground was reaching : the act of prostration ...your soul would with it try to rhyme: Imitation of the Holy Prophet's sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is the means to attain salvation. mole: Here it refers to harbor protected by a breakwater |
