Bayezid Bostami- From Kalidas

Bayezid Bostami- 
A caring soul , a devoted one, for his mom, 
since he was a child,  
On a moonlit night, at  midnight , mom woke up 
and called, “O My son!
For my thirst unquenched, have thy grace to save me, your holy thee!” She said, 
Before she relapsed , in a deep sleep , 
eyes closed
The young soul gazed around the room, 
a room, where, only to be found a pitcher, empty, and  barren, 
An intrepid one, he, determined to be, a heroic effort, 
to fetch water from the remotest fountain, alone
