Ghazal: The Search Poem by Mystic Qalandar

My quest is Truth that burns with an endless flame—
To find You through the veil, my only claim am I.

Your essence stays unseen—yet this the secret truth:
This dust that longs to breathe and speak Your name am I.

My verse becomes the witness, proof of the One alone—
The hidden source of beauty, its last frame am I.

This finger tracing light across a silent screen—
A sign Your hands from nothing shaped and framed am I.

You fade from sight—now distant, now so close within;
The heart still knows that space itself's a name am I.

No parting, no reunion, neither dusk nor dawn—
Within this single realm, beyond all claim am I.

What have I gained from life? Only this love remains—
The pulse in all that lives, yet ever same am I.

I fear no solitude, no void when journeys end—
When all the world falls silent, in Your gaze am I.

If You are lost in crowds, then solitude is bliss;
This ecstasy my pride, my tender shame am I.

Duality deceives the eye that seeks a two—
MyKoul, where loss and gain dissolve in game am I.
