Swami Ram Tirath |
O Impatient drop! You are in the bosom of the sea You were a pearl earlier, now you are an invaluable pearl |
Ah! How gracefully you opened the secrets of life I am still a prisoner of the discriminations of life |
The life’s clamor on destruction became the Last Day’s tumult The spark on being extinguished became Azar‘s fire temple |
The denial of Existence is the Love’s gesture of the informed heart In the river of La is concealed the pearl of Illallah |
The meaning of the end is hidden from the unsightful eye Mercury is only raw silver, when its restlessness stops, |
The Ibrahim of Love is the destroyer of the idol of existence The ecstasy of Tasnim of Love is the cure of awareness. |
