Sheikh Noor-ud-din Wali Poems

Bear with the calls from the compound, friend.
Respond to your inner voice:
As you sow here, so shall you reap there.
Sow and reap, sow and reap.
...

He's beside me and
I'm beside Him,
Blissful I feel with Him,
In vain, I went a—seeking Him
...

Should you have a friend,
Sacrifice yourself for him.
From time to time, a friend
Is a breezy dawn !
...

Does wrath behave a Muslim?
Should you display anger, you'll
Jeopardise your purpose.
...

O self, lend ear to
The gossip that's going on;
This's the knell of
The warrants of death !
...

You gave sugar to sugarcane,
And honey to the honey bee
You gave grapes to
The winding vine:
...

That Lana of Padmanpora
Gulp by gulp who nectar drank,
And saw Shiva face to face everywhere
Grant me that boon, O Deva!
...

Bathe out of sight,
Meditate in secluded isolation,
Be regular in action don't forget,
...

With full settlement, I had come
On business to the world;
Lured on the way I was
In the market place
...

Shiva 's there, spread with
A fine net:
That's Death and
That's Pilgrimage !
...
