Husnal Charag

your beauty, 
hidden inside
can only be felt, 
or experienced
but not explained 
in words, or otherwise
for it is perfect, pure, infinite
that illuminates the elements
of my atman
in a mystic radiance
that leads me to the 
lotus steps of your abode
always.

I, lose myself, 
in this process, 
meandering through
a long journey
of stumbling and 
then realigning
trying to find truth
moving from edge to edge
of belief & disbelief
that parallels 
that of a fish swimming 
from one bank of river 
to the other
in a constant search
to know 
meaning of its existence
that is full of 
astonishments
and entrapments
of mirages and fears 
that surround 
its uncertain journey
in unstill waters;
but gratefully 
under the guidance 
of the true guru
somehow I manage
to find you 
"nearer than near"
within me, 
as if we are the same
as you destined, ordained.

I wish to continue to
be at the edge
that beholds
the "husnal charag"
if you may please
and remain there
having shed
everything of me
to continue to
be at your service
for now I realize that
your pleasure is 
what matters most
to the entire universe
that you are 
creating/recreating
by continually scattering 
the elements 
originating from you
and that should endeavour
sooner or later
to merge with radiance
of your husnal charag 
like true lovers
to achieve
fulfillment.
