Love-smitten, Paradise too little to desire

- Jaihoon



I



Last night sheikh shared with me a secret

From then did I learn my life was sacred

I realized the worth of my dust

I recalled my pledge given at ‘Alast’



“Siddiqa one day became much overjoyed

Unable to rein her ecstasy she screamed



Mustafa asked her the cause for such gala

(She replied)

‘Today I have won your special dua!’

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.



Lord’s Beloved then smiled and divulged-

‘Times five a day do I pray for those believed (in me)”



O Lord of the worlds!

O one who hear my words!



I am confused!

In what words, in which tongue?



How much… how, how much?

How far with this news shall my joy reach?



He was not named in jest or haste

Never in Time shall his name be lost



All the radiant moments of Time

Pass below the shade of his name



Indeed Lord cheered him saying-

‘Your latter shall be better than former’



His degree rises from good to better

From days of-

Alast to Adam to Ardh to Barzakh

From days of

Wheel to paper to machines to chip



We will find his praised name

Whichever page we turn in Time



II



‘Ar-Rahman’ is derived from ‘rahm’

He placed it in every mother’s belly



Her love for the child one can’t measure

She fondles her child like a treasure



Now imagine the mercy of Ar-Rahman

Times seventy or more dear to Him is Man



Such a Lord sent His Beloved 'Al Amin'

Calling Him the Mercy for the Alameen



Not for the world of Man alone

But for all creations ever born



On the morrow if a new world is found

Consider him to there too as Mercy sent



O reader! Do not mistake these lines for his praise

All this sinner did is his love-filled anguish release



These lines were destined to be nevertheless written

My fortune : it flowed through my pen love-smitten



O reader!

Greet that Beloved with your heart

See your burdens becoming light



Ya Rabb!

Your beloved is power

His love is like fire



Mustafa when turns my desire

Paradise is too little to desire



sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

•‘Your latter shall be better than former’ : Sura 93:4



•The Prophet said, " "The word 'Ar-Rahm (womb) derives its name from Ar-Rahman (i.e., one of the names of God) and God said: 'I will keep good relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, (womb i.e. Kith and Kin) and sever the relation with him who will sever the relation with you, (womb, i.e. Kith and Kin).
