Ecstasy of Sufi Whirling

Letting my body perfectly free As anonymous star in the sky’s sea While whirling, I closed my eyes Lit the Holy Candle inside As light as an air When losing my existence As I am a wind Or a particle of sand Or a Dandelion seed flying in the air In a Sufi (mystical) flight I am a soul in luminous Twilight The whole Universe is echoing With soulful melodies With the Zikr (recitation) of (Allah) God And with the chanting poetry In the praise of Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) With sweet melodious tunes Like a beautiful mosaic… Sounds and whirling waves Flowing together in harmony Like a singing nightingale OR clinking of the bells Like rustles of leaves OR cataract sounds Like splashing sounds of water in the rain When they strike the window pane Velvet soft as warm breeze Quite spontaneous like flowing streams Sublime flashes of spiritualism Sparkles & scintillates every moment The ecstasy is growing wider and wider The increasing gentle turns Becomes dynamic Whirling whirlpool is getting deeper and deeper As a well My meta-physical journey is on extreme In a moment in universe In a moment in the sea Where seeking spiritual connections The connections..... Now seems very close Very close The stage of my purification is beginning Sacred feelings and emotions Of the Divine Love of God Enlightens my heart and soul Where no more worldly greed No worries, no screams The way is direct and clear indeed Just me and my Allah, nothing more I need. Poetess S. Nadia Azam Shah Bukhari.
