When Love's Sacred Flame Ignites Within Poem by Mystic Qalandar

When Love's sacred flame ignites within,
the soul ascends into a realm
where sight dissolves,
and silence becomes the only tongue—
a journey inward,
veiled, deep,
where secrets rest in the heart's shadow.

Grant me such a life,
and I will trace
the hidden truths
in their veiled embrace,
upon the eternal scroll of the heart,
where whispered breaths of Haq
unfold like dawn
across unseen horizons.

When melodies awaken
and the lamps of night are lit,
Tajallī breaks beyond all skies—
and in my grasp,
the pen bestowed
by the merciful hand of Rahmān
opens the mystic road
through the enfolding shade of night,
to write the verse
where Love never dies.

Upon a sacred slate,
beyond all measure of time,
where veils dissolve in silent rhyme,
I forge from fire
the cleansing breath—
a song that conquers death.

Now hidden, now blazing—
Haq revealed in boundless light,
the sea of Being, vast and wise,
a mirror for the One
who soars beyond the stars.

Mark this eternal truth:
no chain can bind
the youth of a freed soul.
The mold He shattered—
the cosmic script—
is inscribed upon
the pure manuscript within.

These words are mine alone—
the rarest gift ever given—
no scholar's craft, no fleeting fame,
but Ishq's own fire,
the sacred flame
pressed into the heart's expanse,
burning in Love's unending,
silent dance.

Branded by flame,
I bear Love's crown,
renown in the silent deep.
Still, these verses rise like flowers
out of the dark,
beneath the ocean of sky.

And as long as breath endures,
as long as hand meets page,
I will send this gift—
clear, pure—
from the eternal flame
from which every Name, whispered, was born.
