| Bismillah Salam Alaikum, By: Farid Ud-Din Attar (from the Conference of the Bird's). The Nightingale Raises his Head, Drugged with Passion Pouring The Oil Of Earthly Love In Such Fashion. That the other Bird's Shaded with his Song, Grow Mute The leaping Mysteries of his Melodies are Acute. 'I know the secret of love, I am their Piper' He Sings, 'I seek a David with Broken Heart Decipher. Their plaintive barbs, I inspire the yearning Flute The daemon of the plucked conversation of the Lute.' 'The Roses are Dissolved into Fragrance by my Song Hearts are Torn with it's Sobbing Tone, Broken Along The fault lines of longing filled with Desire's Wrong.' 'My Music is like the Sky's Black Ocean, I Steal The listener's Reason, the World becomes the Seal. Of Dreams for chosen lovers, where only the Rose Is certain. I cannot go further, I am lame, and Expose.' 'My Anchored Soul to the Divine Way My love for the Rose is sufficient, I shall Stay. In the vicinity of it's Petalled Image, I Need No more, it Blooms for me the Rose, my Seed.' The Hoope replies: 'you love the Rose without Thought Nightingale, your foolish Song is Caught. By the Rose's Thorns, it is a passing Thing Velvet Petal, Perfume's Repose Bring.' 'You pleasure, yes, but Sorrow Too For the Rose's Beauty is Shallow: Few Escape Winter's Frost. To seek the Way Release yourself from this love that lasts a Day.' 'The Bud Nurtures it's own Demise as Day Nurtures Night Groom yourself, Pluck the Deadly Rose from your Sight.' Fi Amanillah Z... |
