Shamas Faqir....CONTD..4

my place is behind the veil of pain
the queen will come out and play the game
my place is behind the veil of pain
why was my heart,
the heart of a simple being enamored:
my place is behind the veil of pain
****
look at the dust on the book of destiny ,
love has put a sheen on beloved's face,
this was embroidered on the tunic of my heart:
my place is behind the veil of pain
****
you shall reap in the autumn,
what you sow in the spring.
meditate and keep on humming,
the lover is scared of
neither heat nor cold:
my place is behind the veil of pain
****
what would one know of it,
be him a child or a man grown
who has not suffered the scalding of love,
when to offers his head to some one?
my place is behind the veil of pain
****
Shamas Faqir traversed the whole universe
praying to Lord for eternal life
sitting at home and repeating the word:
my place is behind the veil of pain

(translation:ayaz rasool nazki)

Shamas Faqir....CONTD..3

When shall that simpleton see the light?
(Shamas Faqir)
If you are wise, introspect within:
When shall that simpleton see the light?
****
how do I blame that gardener,
flower plants were sown
and nettle has grown
I watered it and it has bitten me:
When shall that simpleton see the light?
****
deceiver himself gets deceived,
for him the noon turns in to night.
what would a pauper light a hearth for:
when shall that simpleton see the light?
****
don’t waste your counsel on devils lad,
consider him to be base at base
emancipation is not for a dirty core:
when shall that simpleton see the light?
****
the one who jumps in to the ocean of love,
to cleanse his self shall realize
meem,alif and lam
I woud snatch the pearl of realization from his hand:
When shall that simpleton see the light?
****
Shamas, the mad seeks the true Lord,
Allah let my name live forever.
to eat away the moon,
immature ascended the sky:
when shall that simpleton see the light?
****
(translation:ayaz rasool nazki)

Shamas Faqir....CONTD..2

GAZAL
(shamas faqir)
i see everywhere my friend
not a hair breath without,
come i will tell you the secret of secrets
do not be un attentive
***
in a moment it came to me
i heard it under the wings of my heart
care and attention are preferred
for up, the down is also pride
***
you dive in to the unity
you will find the king
if alive you be , alive you die
go on playing as a child
***
the sea is deeper than the deep
how would blind fathom the vast
not easy to comprehend the meaning
only wise may do
***
tear away the garments of not being
you will know your name
the goblet with wine empty
***
in the supplication i saw ,
existence and vision disappear
this secret alone remained
and it is not wrapped in drapes
***
how do i tell you its worth
even dead the lover lived
you shamas make this happen
in case you you seek
***

Shamas Faqir....CONTD

I have been united with you
(Shamas Faqir)

since the moment you burnt me
in the fire of love,
i have been united with you
since the time ,i heard your word
i have been united with you
***
me, a log of sandalwood
brought down from the woods,
you with love’s axe
chopped it in to pieces,
the burden of trust
is now on me,
i have been united with you
***
neither a believer nor a non- believer
neither of pedigree nor of high virtue,
you in a jiffy took my heart and faith
from me
i have been united with you
***
i sighted you over the harmokh
in seven curves you the colorful
became visible ,
the colorless, I couldn’t gather
i have been united with you
***
Shamas Faqir entered the black
drinking the elixir of eternity
again and again,
drinking that which was revealed
i have been united with you
****

The most special...(shamas faqir)

The Most Special among specials
(Shamas faqir)
Him and His attributes are one
The Most Special among specials
look for Him always, He has no interruptions
The Most Special among specials
****
Sealing all six directions, sixth sense awakens
that nod is for the wise
this is the promise made to me by the
wine seller
The Most Special among specials
***
I burnt the sandalwood
and melted gold
the master put it to touchstone,
In the market place it lost faith
The Most Special among specials
***
the fire of love burnt my body
the glare of sun went in to my eyes
exaltation after death,
is the life for the seeker
The Most Special among specials
***
streams issue from the river
river drifts within the drop
this commoners do not know
The Most Special among specials
***
Shamas Faqir! Drink the elixir of eternity
that is the life of perfect ones
may you then be with the pure
The Most Special among specials
