Mystic Qalandar Poems

The Voice of the Soul —
A Quest for the Knowledge of Truth*

If we have never longed—
...

Where love's voice hums—
in silent sound,
A depth unmoved, yet deeply found—
The Prophet stands
...

A stranger,
exiled from his homeland,
walks silently among thorns,
gathering his cloak with both hands,
...

On the lofty heights of the past—
when those whose eyes held only
a dim, unborn light
still lay hidden in their mother's womb,
...

Did I ever truly leave the sea for a lake—
the deep blue for gentler light?
The roar of waves for quiet shores,
for ripples barely heard?
...

Though You—the Causeless—
breathed me into being,
I pray this self not vanish
into the fractured dream of duality.
...

[Verse 1]
Each day brings a quiet victory,
As I wrestle with what's deep in me.
This war within, I fight alone—
...

Will that moment ever rise—
When from the dust of earth,
Love's ecstasy takes flight?
Mountains cleave their silent chests,
...

Space cannot contain You,
Nor time impose its mark.
No beginning defines You,
No end can close Your arc.
...

I.
You are Reality—
In morning's light,
You shimmer so,
...
