Sufi Delight

'I' and 'you' are but the lattices,
in the niches of a lamp,
through which the One Light shines.
'I' and 'you' are the veil
between heaven and earth;
lift this veil and you will see
no longer the bonds of sects and creeds.
When 'i' and 'you' do not exist,
what is mosque, what is synagogue?
What is the Temple of Fire?

-Shabistari

mujhe kya pata ...
Main to kabhi andar gaya hi nahin...
Man changa to kathauti mein ganga...
Aur botal mein.. jamuna..
glass mein saraswati
