| [This is referring to the prayer of the Lovers of God. They value their sincere worship of Creator more than the paradise which they receive as reward for the former. They cannot find joy except in their silent conversation with God. They want their suffering too to be associated with Him and seek His refuge from the worries of this materialistic world. They cannot describe their joy when their heart weeps before Him. Their lifetime devotion to Him is without ever having a glimpse of their Loving Creator. Their belief is blind, simply because the Holy Prophet, His Beloved, said so. And the paradise is the reward for taking such a risk!] Lovers' Tears Precious than Paradise' Rivers - by Jaihoon http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/paradiserivers.htm O Tasbih! The joy and pain of His lovers are shown Only to the One who in their hearts rein They can suffer no other plight By Him alone can they delight Last night two slaves gathered As their silent prayer I overheard “Give us not the pain of this world But the pain of Your Merciful Love Let your Love be our constant cry Save us from the bread-only hurry Ya Hayy! Ya Qawiyy! O Most high! O our heart’s sigh! O the stone of our souls’ ring- Our tears are but Your Spring The drops that on our cheeks run Is dear than the rivers in the heaven Suffice to us Your do’s Save us from Your Don’ts We bow We pray We say But by Your sway! Take not back not this fortune Make us not like lifeless stone We worshipped day and night Not for once You came to sight Never did we make a demand That Your vision come to hand Our hearts simply believed The words of Your Beloved Your Signs evident all over Your Self apparent nowhere Yet we call, Ya Hayy! Ya Qawiyy! O Most high! O our hearts’ sigh! The drops that on our cheeks run Is dear than the rivers in the heaven" http://www.jaihoon.com/egoptics/paradiserivers.htm |
