I don't want to see You,
I don't want to touch You,
let me feel You from a distance,
let me believe You are beautiful,
as I am afraid of coming close to you!
My God! Whoever came too close to me,
he lost his charms,
and I lost my feelings for him.
You remained silent,
and I felt,
as if you are saying,
no comments.
I felt you smiled,
and I felt as if You are saying,
remain at a distance if you can.
Oh! How can I?
What should I do to create a distance?
Should I get rid of love?
No, I can't.
Should I become unkind to someone,
No, I can't.
Should I hurt a heart?
Oh! I did it many times,
Now I know why I felt myself lonely,
and helpless some times,
a distance was created between You and me!
Dear God come more close to me,
so that,
I am in You,
and You are in me!
I see You are beautiful,
I can touch you in the mirror!
My right palm is on your left palm
I am being beautified,
My left palm is on Your right palm,
and you are removing my ugliness!
I became so much excited,
I kissed you my God.
My whole touched Your whole.
Alas! I could not hug You,
I am a man with many limitations.
But why didn't you hug me,
You are God with no limitations!
Dear God come more close to me, so that, I am in You, and You are in me! I see You are beautiful. Really, really loved these beautiful lines of your poem, Jawad sahab! 10++++++++

Mun tu shudam tu mun shudi, mun tun shudam tu jaan shudi Taakas na guyad baad azeen, mun deegaram tu deegari (Hazrat Amir Khusrau) I have become you, you have become me, I have become life, you have become body; From now on, let no one say that I am other and you are another. (Traslation is by Khushwant Singh)
