"One Whisper of the Beloved"

 

Lovers share a sacred decree

to seek the Beloved.

They roll head over heels,

rushing toward the Beautiful One

like a torrent of water.

 

In truth, everyone is a shadow of the Beloved

Our seeking is His seeking,

Our words are His words.

 

At times we flow toward the Beloved

like a dancing stream.

At times we are still water

held in His pitcher.

At times we boil in a pot

turning to vapor

that is the job of the Beloved.

 

He breathes into my ear

until my soul

takes on His fragrance.

He is the soul of my soul

How can I escape?

But why would any soul in this world

want to escape from the Beloved?

 

He will melt your pride

making you thin as a strand of hair,

Yet do not trade, even for both worlds,

One strand of His hair.

 

We search for Him here and there

while looking right at Him.

Sitting by His side we ask,

"O Beloved, where is the Beloved?"

 

Enough with such questions!

Let silence take you to the core of life.

 

All your talk is worthless

When compared to one whisper

of the Beloved.
