Infidelity and Islam(Includes a Verse of Mir Razi Danish) |
One day Iqbal questioned the Kaleem of Tur
“ O You whose foot-prints converted the Valley of Sinai into a garden! |
The fire of Nimrod is still ablaze in the world
Why your Love’s old fire has been hidden from the eye”? |
The reply of Sinai’s Master was “If you are a Muslim
Leaving the Invisible do not become the lover of the visible |
If you have taste for the visible you need the Faith of Khalil
Otherwise ashes are the adornments of your life |
If you are Lover of the Invisible do not care at all
Set your lamp in the Valley of Faran and remain waiting |
The visible’s glory is temporary, the Invisibile’s Majesty is permanent
This Truth has the body-and-soul connection with Love |
What if the flame of Namrud is alight in the world
‘The candle melts itself in the midst of the assembly |
| My light like the stone’s spark is better if concealed’” |
Translated by: M.A.K. Khalil |
