| Don't leave me in the dark! ********************** http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/dark.htm O dear flame. Don't leave me in the dark For the devil's forces upon me to stalk I know you have a Him-fearing kind heart You've been so generous to me since start If you desert me in this confusing age Where will I run to seek a pious refuge My friend. Not in this dark me you leave Who else will guide me towards His Love Shall I bury my face among the penny papers? Or indulge myself in the world of virtual cables? Have you wondered what will happen to this moth? In your absence he shall become another dead sloth Drown me not with so much pain Show me that you care as little as a grain I shiver of cold in the bazaar of the beasts What appears as candy is in real bitter taste Men and women have become madly blind With greed, their souls have they left behind I see nothing but pitch darkness around In hind and Hijaz I see only evils abound All I need is a ray of Him Loving flame Ah! Even if I am burnt have I no blame. Be a little kind to this little being Plenty are the fortunes that he can bring In your absence my wings become weak Without His fearful tears dry is my cheek Now when I silently raise my head to the sky Even before speaking a word I begin to cry He hears me weep He sees my heart deep He knows how much sincere hope I keep And what my heart whispers while I sleep O My Tabrez. O My Tasbih! Tell me a little more about that Merciful Him My heart is not content listening to you in dream If you have wounded me partly with His Love- Take the sword and complete the story. For, it pains more for a lover's heart to bleed Give me not a book, but teach me how to read O dear flame. Don't leave me in the dark For the devil's forces upon me to stalk Leave me not alone in solitude to perish Do everything else, but not like this punish Without you I can bear any amount of pain, But not the joy, which my success brings Of what value is that joy Unable to share, makes you cry Imagine the pain and regret of a shallow well When His rain comes plenty, but it can't have all My heart is small, it cannot contain much When the cup is to its full, it outflows For many years I ran east and west in His search Within days you taught me in my heart is His reach Then I called Him the creator of the earth and sky 'O My Merciful Him who loves me' is now my cry Why to be so rude, o slave of Al Wadood? Why leave me to suffer in the solitude? O dear flame. Don't leave me in the dark For the devil's forces upon me to stalk I have nothing else in this world to look at Our Ummah has become a stock to mock at It cannot know the friend from the foe And talk matters big to make a show I do not wish to put anyone in blame What do I have for any difference to claim In such a state, why me you desert Alone in His Way, how shall I exert? You showed me a world beyond books His fear issued from your humble looks Now I come across learned sages Who have learned numerous pages Ah! But what is the use His Love in me they can't arouse O dear flame. Don't leave me in the dark For the devil's forces upon me to stalk I shall not stop my complaint Until with it you shall acquaint! May Allah grant you a thousand years more To Love and fear Him more than ever before - Jaihoon Notes Him-fearing kind heart: It is only the fear of God that can soften the hearts of people. In the absence of it, they will become rude to others. virtual cables: the world of technology. complete the story: kill Al Wadood: most loving. one of the 99 names of God In His way how shall I exert: The literal meaning of jihad is to 'exert'. http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/dark.htm |
