[Guest guest]

Here is another poem by the unusual Samad.

 

English version by

Isaac A. Ezekiel

 

Original Language

Persian/Farsi

 

Once I was bathed in the Light of Truth within,

 

 

Once I was bathed in the Light of Truth within,

I abandoned all planning and scheming.

If you, too, seek this transcendence,

leave your lower self - then from head to foot

you will see your whole being as God's refulgence.

 

 

-- from Sarmad: Martyr to Love Divine, by Isaac A. Ezekiel
