poems and proses ♥

collections of poems and proses, squeezed out of my tiny mind through contemplations and quotes from people of wisdom.

dedicated to Allah, the lover who owns, the owner who loves, the light, the truth, the one and only.

The Claim of Love

by Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh

Who am I to express my being before You,
To talk about my claiming to love You?

I am that dot that is counted as 'naught';
Who am I to lest myself on the Path?

I am too low to claim to be nothing;
Don't say, "Be discreet!" — let me declare:

"There's but one Being manifest for all eternity;
My talk of body and soul would be nothing but a fable'

I have clearly seen that idol and idolater both are He;
Why should I, then, carry on talking about the idol-breaker?

0 preacher! I don't know about religion and unbelief;
So, hush! Or else, I'll expose your secrets to all.

For years and years I have had no news of Nurbakhsh;
There's no trace of him in my memory to express any 'I'.
