What to fight with no sword? ********************** http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/nosword.htm It was moon-lit dark When I began the walk The stars above were shining And the heart in me was whining- Saying- "Look at the stars, O foolish man See their splendor besides the moon Did you still not learn the secrets of Affinity? What a shame, on you may descend Lord's pity." I did not say a word, What to fight with no sword The cursed devil is selling that fruit for free His slaves unable to identify that Forbidden Tree He has chained the slaves of God In their own lands they are tied [img]http://www.jaihoon.com/pics/burqaband.jpg[/img] Mischief is dancing in the streets Those in authority are giving the beats Ah! Those who have any shame left Hide their faces in the passive blankets His slaves' hearts are scattered For bread's worry their minds cluttered Whatever good remains in them Devil steals their time to perform God made His slaves So that Him they worship Devil shaped their lives In paying bills and tip I did not say a word What to fight with no sword At such a time- O my heart, where to find my soul's friends In pain I cry, even when joy in my life blends I smile merely as a cause for Sadaqah 'coz that was a part of the Beloved's Sunnah Or else what is around so joyful When good remains just a handful? In the east and west I fail to find any soul That burns me in His Love like coal? What worth is a star, tell me When it's distant from its galaxy? I can pierce the Time like an arrow But who will launch me like a bow? I am the fragrant sandal from the beautiful hind But where is the breeze that will spread the Hijazi scent? I did not say a word What to fight with no sword - Jaihoon :( Notes Forbidden Tree: The tree God forbid Adam to approach. Sadaqah: charity. (Every smile is a charity- Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa salam Sunnah: way of the Prophet Hindi.. Hijazi: Indian and Arabian. |
