Cloud


High in the sky, silently I float,
The mountains tear and shear my grace,
Torment myself, and I bring rain,
To nourish the ground, to sprout the seed.

The golden Sun and the emerald ocean,
Together they brew the magnificent potion,
Upon the azure bed with no motion
Till I prime to burst with emotion.

From whence I come, thence I go
My life is this, and happily so
All this been my destiny lo,
From whence I do not care to know...!

It is all His grace and go
That runs the Universe Mill,
I too am His insignificant till
He is All, everything His will.

Did You See My Love...?

O’ Daises and daffodils,
Did you see my love pass by?
O’ Velvet green,
Did you feel the tread of her feet as she whisked by?
O’ Thou pearls of shining dew,
Did you offer her your velvety sheen?
She is my love; my life always has been.
Oh here I am in her realm.

What Am I..

I am the dust, stuck to thy soles,
And wherever thou travel, there it goes,
No more no less, still I am yours,
It is now all that matters.

Me I belong to thee,
It is I know and what I see.
And when you smile, The smile is for me,
I know it, for the smile is me.

Since the moment, You offered me the cup of Ale,
There is a restlessness inside of me like that of un-abating gale,
Is this what they call love or when there is no veil,
Does it matter now that You have set my sail.

With each breath I breath your name,
I do not know but it is now my mane,
With each beat of my heart,
I feel as I am of your lot.

For the eve to come, I eagerly await,
To till my ship and happily sail,
In waters calm and free of gale,
To the land of Eternity, to the land of Divine realm.

Wish of a Young Bird..

I dare not touch the sky, O' mother,
But please teach me just to fly...
There are lands beyond the hills to cover,
And many oceans to glide over.
To feel the wind ripple through my flaxen hair,
And white clouds glide by my rudder...
So Please teach me just to fly,
Even though I dare not touch the Sky.

Words..

These two words you whispered to me,
lit my inside just like a pyre.
Without any smoke and dancing flame,
Tel me what is this change, what is its name?

With every breath I breathe your name,
The breath so sweet but full of your love aflame,
It burns me down to ashes with its azure flame,
Till there is only you and your lonely name.

The words come to lips of their own,
The moment I see rose on your face,
And the fragrance sends me to lands unknown,
Such is the charm of your grace.

Stuttering bishop that I had been,
Till 'Sheikh Ali' orbed my soul with eyes so keen,
I lost my tongue and silence prevailed,
Now you see Leo as if lamb revealed.

Love...

I wait for a glimpse of your grace,
And tide the night with open eyes,
Come my love hold me in your embrace,
Till eternity we will be together.

Basket Man..

I am a basket man from basket town,
These baskets I weave are fresh from my oven,
In them you'll see my strength and blood,
For I have put my everything in their cloud,
You don't heed my words anymore,
For now you are asleep like before,
God has given me this way to live,
Why should I complain when it is His give,
So let us not worry about mansions and palaces,
These can't be your company in eternal solace,
It is only the deeds you do,
That will speak "there" for you.
