The secret divine

The secret divine my ecstasy has taught I may convey if I have Gabriel's breath. *** What can these stars tell me of my fate? They are lost themselves in the boundless firmament. *** The total absorption of thought and vision is life, Scattered thought is selfhood's total death. *** Pleasures of selfhood are a blessing of God, Who makes me lose my awareness of myself. *** With a pure heart, a noble aim, a poignant soul. I care not for Solomon's wealth or Plato's thought. *** The Prophet's 'Mairaj' has taught me that heaven Lies within the bounds of human reach. *** This universe, perhaps, is yet incomplete, For I hear repeated sounds of "Be, And It Was." *** Thy mind is ruled by the magic of the West, Thy cure lies in the Fire of Rumi's faith. *** It is he who has given my eyes a blissful vision, It is he who has blessed my soul with light. _____________ Translated by Naeem Siddiqui
