One fine morning, I said to the sun


O’ Sun
What is the secrecy of your light?
Certainly the world is nothing without your sight?

What keeps you aflame so vigorously day and night?
You are fed nothing thus what makes you so bright?

__


The Sun replied*

O’ Jamil
Your eyes cannot endure me fully
And yet you question the veil of my mystery

I keep my glow with love of One light
Devotion of which keeps me so bright

O’ Jamil
Create a gleam within your heart
Set yourself ablaze in love of this One light

Lay empty and lost in thoughts I am

Such moments of sweet agony
And lost in thoughts I am

O’ Cup-bearer
A tiny inconvenience for  y o u  
Hold the ocean still as lost in thoughts I am

O’verse of my heart, O’ note of my soul
Convey my message in your humblest words
Say, your lover’s eyes are singing alike
The morning birds

O’ my sacred pen, O’ my blessed scrawl
Pronounce what you feel but hide the truth
Say, your lover lay despaired at
His marvellous youth

O’ couplet of my feelings, O’ tongue of my call
Assert what you deem but conceal the reality
Say, your lover lay tarnished and
Is beyond normality

O’ echo of my state, O’ voice of my world
Declare what you believe but reveal your sincerity
Say, your lover is dying in sweet pain and I am
Here to endorse its authenticity

O' beloved your love has intoxicated me

I sit here lost in your beautiful thoughts
And my soul is in your search everywhere

I am surrounded by your ecstatic bliss
And my eyes can only see you everywhere

My heart sights you on its throne
And my ears can only hear you everywhere

O' beloved your love has intoxicated me

I sit here lost in your beautiful thoughts
And my soul is in your search everywhere

My tongue utters words of your love
And my mind only imagines you everywhere

My hands write your love poems
And my legs are in your quest everywhere

O' beloved your love has intoxicated me*

I sit here lost in your beautiful thoughts
And my soul is in your search everywhere



This poem contains the following two contexts:-

✽  First is from a very famous saying that when the Creator loves a person, he becomes his ears with which he hears, his eyes with which he sees, his hands with which he strikes and his feet with which he walks.

✽  Second is that every human soul yearns for a union with its origin. Since both men and women have some Divine attributes that are missing in each other, they are attracted to each other by what they see as the other half of the Divine Existence.

''My imagination of a poet and poetess
sharing their first conversation.''*

Poetess:
Gazing upon your clay-cup,
My eyes judge that you are alike,
So raise your crown, and wake-up,
O' my dreamlike!

Poet:
My soul a boundless wave,
Seeks a ray of light in solitude,
You seem a queen and I a slave,
Perhaps your eyes are hued?

_

Poetess:
O' ruler, disguised in veil,
Thirst in your eyes an ocean for me,
And my soul has pined for such zeal,
You are bliss on earth craving for me.

Poet:
Aroma of your gentle devotion,
And a stir of my visions have raised the wings,
My passion is scattered alike dust in the winds,
O' wise and brave, what is your emotion?

_

Poetess:
Your presence before me, an arrival of moon,
My heart opening its eyelids to a new majesty,
And the soul is dancing in the rapturing monsoon,
O' beautiful, my yearnings lay in your agony.

Poet:
O' elegance of such heavenly delight,
Your beauty a messenger to my heart,
And my soul lay in extremes of your excite,
O' pearl of my pride, my image and my art.

_

Poetess:
O' merchant of intoxicating whispers,
Ecstasy arises from within your tongue,
New clouds of joy are unveiling in my heart,
And may such unity never be apart.

Poet:
O' morning dew, if you dare come close,
My affection wants to hold you in its arms,
Waiting are my kisses on a throne of rose,
And elating are your splendid charms.

_

Poetess:
O' beautiful, O' flowing stream,
Embrace my soul in your captivity,
I desire to be seized in your esteem,
And my heart rests in such festivity.

Poet:
O' blessed wine, O' sweetness of my existence,
Your love arose like the morning sun upon my chest,
Elevating me and pouring like a spring within my breast.

Heart, O’ heart*
You have made my soul restless and thirsty
Although I adore the sweet pain
And love her generosity

For me
This world of being has turned into bliss
Surely her beautiful and gentle
Words are what I miss

Those
Charming eyes have taken me by my soul
Those gorgeous looks have made
Me out of control

O’ heart
Let her fragrance of love last forever
Let me march towards this
Wonderful endeavour

Maybe
All these are my imaginary affections
They taste like precious honey
From the heavens

O’ heart
Let her sweetness of love remain inside me
This suffering is unique so it
Shall never depart me

Like a hidden
Disease inside lasting without an end
May this continue until my soul
Is finally to ascend

Her last moments
Have set my heartily feelings on fire
Afflictions remain inside me as this
Is the punishment I desire
