Mystic Qalandar Poems

You are in me,
flickering at the core of silence,
a hidden flame that breathes
through the hollow of my being.
...

My love, your words
Draw radiant rivers beyond time,
Flowing through sleeping valleys,
Through forests where shadow weeps—
...

No "I" birthed the Light—
only the Light
in which "I" seemed to arise.
...

The partial intellect complained
to the Lord, the Creator:

'Why did You create man?
...

I can breathe the fragrance
of roses with myriad hues and colours
but? I can't breathe the
Rosegarden in.,
...

On this moonless night,
I waited for the full moon.

I could not board the boat;
...

Remember this truth:
You were not born to fade
like mist at dawn,
nor to vanish into shadows.
...

Who but a fool would set his heart ablaze
in the unreal fire of separation?

Who burns in duality's forge, twists in that blaze—
...

I was once a lion
of unseen wilds—
my roar, a clap of thunder;
my gaze, a lightning strike.
...

To my heart, the bird's song comes—
Whispered tales of an ancient king,
Not bound to earth, but robed in eternal sky,
Where time unwinds
...
