I am needful lover, who needs you
I will take for granted very dearly the sorrow of a beloved like you You are the sun; my eye is alight with your beauty if I giveup you , to whom I ll go Everywhere I looked, I have seen the Friend Revealing Itself at one place, hidden at others. Somewhere as implicit, somewhere as explicit Appearing sometime ephemeral, sometime perennial. Everywhere I looked, I have seen the Friend Rising and falling, playing hide and seek. Somewhere He is the King adorning the throne Somewhere seen as a beggar holding the bowl Everywhere I looked, I have seen the Great Friend Revealing itself at one place, hidden at others. Somewhere He is the golden attire of my enchanting lady Showing off the charms and seductive gestures Playing hide and seek I have seen the Great Friend, wheresoever I looked Somewhere in the form of lover of Beloved seen beating his chest and heart aflame Everywhere I looked, I have seen the Friend Revealing Itself at one place, hidden at others. Everywhere I looked, I have seen the Great Friend. ~ Sufi poet Hazrat Shah Niaz (The Friend) |

I saw my beloved in all I saw,
ReplyDeleteAt times revealed, hidden at times.
Been familiar with the issue of faith,
I saw the face of my beloved in all I saw.
At times a possibility, at times imperative,
At times ephemeral, at times eternal.
Inspired by the wish to see Himself,
He made Himself into every form.
He is the one who sees and hears
I saw no one other then Him.
Laughed gleefully through blooming flowers,
Crooned in nightingale's melodious songs.
He took the forms of the candle and the moth,
And annihilated Himself in flames of His own.
At times claiming "I am the Truth",
Witnessed his head raised on the Cross.
O 'Niyaz' He was beyond the bounds of `You' and `Me',
And yet I see Him in every `You' and `Me'.
At times he behaved like unfamiliar,
At timed I found him familiar with the face.
At times he is the emperor in power,
At times seen with a mendicant's begging bowl.
At times, a devout worshipper,
Lord of rakes and drunkards at times.
At times in the beloved's attire,
He was seen throwing up His charms.
At times as a lover like 'ME',
He was seen beating his breast and heart aflame.
