Only God Knows Poem by Bedam Shah Warsi

Only God knows the limits of inifinte His Kingdom
Humans know to the confines of their finite mind.

I lost my mind and heart I could not figure out
Where the world of beauty and love begins
- and where it ends.

From earth to sky stretches an eerie wilderness
I kow not the extent of the ruins
the desolation of my heart.

From the earth to the empyrean
from the sky to placelessness -
Only He knows the expanse of the hearts universe.

The stories of beauty of love
Whatever there is in the world, is the storyof our love.

With the very first thought of the Beloved
I was lost to the world
If this be the beginning what
would be its finale.

Once have I heard Sufis say in their retreats
These colourful words, Bedam, these soulful verses,
ends here.
