Ghazal: On The Path Of Love Poem by Mystic Qalandar

The veils of deceit and slumber are torn away, MyKoul,
By the grace of the Eternal Cupbearer, the wine brought sobriety, MyKoul.

Emerge from the illusion of multiplicity; behold the Ocean of Unity, MyKoul,
In the melody of waves, the essence of oneness stood unveiled, MyKoul.

Ecstasy dwells in the flight of the soul-bird, MyKoul,
Lost in the song, the very sense of self dissolved, MyKoul.

From the shell's heart, the Pearl was revealed, MyKoul,
Those who molded themselves in oneness glimpsed the secret, MyKoul.

The Eternal Voice proclaims the station of Truth, MyKoul,
In the inner garden, the lamp of truth burned night and day, MyKoul.

When you prostrate at the threshold of the heart, MyKoul,
The stars of the soul's sky twinkle with divine radiance, MyKoul.

Here, the Cupbearer is the same, the wine is the same, the goblet is the same, MyKoul,
The lover became intoxicated in their love of unity, MyKoul.

See with the eye of insight the beauty of unity in every particle, MyKoul,
The Paradise lost has been regained, MyKoul.

Be aware! When the Eternal King manifests His glory, MyKoul,
Guard your Self (Khudi) , for even the essence was concealed by Him, MyKoul.

This is the primordial breath; this is the sovereign of the world, MyKoul,
In the scale of love, the people of the heart grew weighty in worth, MyKoul.

It is dawn! Gaze continuously upon the Lord's effulgence, MyKoul,
This very peak is the Mount of Light; here stands the Kaaba, the ultimate station, MyKoul.
