Meditation Poem by Matloob Bokhari

MEDITATION
When the candle of love burnt in my heart,
Then I became familiar with the path of Allah ho.
When I played the beautiful game of love all night,
Then perfume of booming night flower chanted Allah ho.
When I lived in harmony with the objects of universe,
Then meadows, shores and hills sang with me Allah ho.
When I broke all the sinister boats of sects,
Then the water of ocean greeted me with Allah ho.
When I roamed in the realm of my Beloved,
Then, in the joy of clear wine of love, I said Allah ho.
When I kissed Black Stone, saw Kaaba, but not Lord of Kaaba,
Then I kissed hands of an orphan, hummed in my heart, Allah ho.
When I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,
Then I saw All-Living with my heart eyes, Allah ho.
