Tighten the Knot of Hope

“Life means a passionate burning,
An urge to make,
To cast in the dead clay
The seed of heart.”

Hey Friends who carry stones,
Striking to create sparks.
Would you throw them to the mire
If after a try they make no fire?

Would you not hit them again
Until you see the flame plain?

Hey friends lost in distraction,
Embarrassed before Lord of Alast,
Who are In forgetfulness ruined
When His nearness gained
Who fall asleep
When to Him you leap

Draw near with the knot of hope,
And then find strength to cope.

Satan’s game will one day fail,
His tricks will no more prevail.

Don’t give up the trials you make,
Soon in His lovers’ file you’ll take.

Even the ignorant hypocrites find faith,
These lines did fall in Jaihoon’s fate.

Therefore,
Keep to yourself
The stones of spirit
For, they shall soon
Sinai-like fire emit

And if you strike them like al Mustafa-
That Sweet Beloved of Allah
Greater will be the fire
From the Mount of Nur
For, old-fashioned:
The talk of Mount of Tur.
