Beloved, the Inevitable

Beloved, the Inevitable

Sky without the moon
Ring without the stone
Song without the melody
Garden without the rose
Shell without the pearl
Shelf without the books
Bottle without the perfume
Israel without Moses
Deserts without the sands
Monsoon with the rain
Body without the Heart
Leila without Majnun

Ah! I could imagine any such naught-
But world without Muhammad not!

This world is as good as naught
Had not his Light been naught

He is ultimate brick in the Tower of Life
He is the Gem in the Ocean of Existence

His is the light of my culture and nurture
His is the pen wherefrom comes my every letter

Love and its description is he
Life and its meaning is he

Flower and scent is he
Moon and its light is he

Science and its proof is he
Faith and its creed is he

Prayer and its answer is he
Power and its justice is he

Heart and its love is he
Eye and its vision is he

I and my good is he
I may be naught, not he!

In hell and heaven I’d disbelieved
Were it not told by His Beloved

Mistake not these lines as mine
The Tablet had it long ago written

I am only being just to myself
As I sing his song to others

(dedicated to the Holy Prophet Muhammad)

Death Is Her Name, Separation Is Her Game

I felt at unease
My love, at tease

I embraced her close
Yet feared I her loss

She saw my sweat and fear
And my eyes look elsewhere

“What has put your heart on fire
Has my lover turned to a liar?

What secret have you got to hide
If love other, then with me confide”

Replied I

“For past few weeks
Have I been in pains

My heart trembles
In fear, humbles

When I see you approach
I see Her too encroach

I wish to love you at all times
But She shatters all my hopes

Both of you are as real
I cannot deny you either

Ah! Death is her name
Separation is her game

She comes uninvited
To have lovers frightened

Nightmare of life is she,
Pirate of Lovers’ sea is she

Ridicule of love, her hobby
She cares not for any lobby

Ah! Death is her name
Separation is her game

Malicious Clips

With neither head nor tail
Sans any begin or end

Disliked as barren desert land 
Despised as a misborn child

Tasteless wine
Scentless perfume

Ignorance in disguise
Wisdom in distress

Fortune of fools
Scorn of sages 

Save me, O Most Wise
From these malicious Clips

For Her Patient Love

In the business of life I forgot
With the success of life I lost

Realized I not your affection
Inflicted upon you the solitary affliction

You kept open your eyes in longing
For my single glimpse you kept staring

Yet, I threw upon you thorns of pain
And you gifted me with roses of love

O the tireless lover!
Of this crazy wanderer!

With patience is your lamp lit
With my tsunami is your shore hit

Even as I dived into the ocean of Time
Your love alone turned to be the worthy pearl

Your love, showed me the paradise on earth
Your love, changed this demon to an angel

O the one maddened in my love!
O the one saddened in my love!

I swear to love you till death, but-
Pray for me even as I rest below the earth

Like Never Before

by Jaihoon

Nightingale’s song today is 
melodious like never before
Rose’s cheeks today blushes 
like never before

Sun’s rays today shines like 
never before
Wind’s dance today is graceful 
like never before

Heart’s joy today hyper like 
never before
Mind’s moves brighter today 
like never before

Sleep taken flight today like 
never before
Eyes exuberant today like never 
before

Darkness died,
Lantern lit
Oppression over
Benevolence begun

Women won rights
Kids given care
Poor got their dues
Beasts granted compassion

Learning encouraged
Culture flourished
Science developed
Technology evolved

Mustafa was born when
All but God changed like never 
before

(Peace be upon him)
