THE ETERNAL LOVE
Matloob Bokhari

In a summer night, radiated with moon,
Thinking about seven skies and earth,
I was talking with scintillating stars.
Silence had invaded the silence of night.
Flowers and shrubs were praising Lord.
Suddenly, I heard a call of a fairy queen,
Bewildered me she with her beauty.
Then, offered a cup of wine, full of love.
Her blazing beauty enlightened my soul
And taught me a lesson of eternal Truth.
Lesson that was taught to Moses at Sinai.
I had a glimpse of Truth, beyond logic;
Saw white pearl preserved in a shell.
Where is my dress? where are my shoes?
Where is my life? where is my death?
Where is my body? where is my soul?
Am I in red flames or in purple rain?
No fear of hell, no greed of heaven.
A flower bloomed in the desert of my heart.
I am in love with Love more than love.
In the nightmare of darkness, barking dogs
Nor  see beauty of stars, nor state of a lover.
