Sufiana Kalam

Often, retreating

Into my solitude,

I think of you

And cry!

Every time

When to my surprise,

Passion, lust, malaise, and spite

Pour out of this heart of mine

I cry!

During long days

And even longer nights

Whirling forever,

Reminiscing you,

With restless body

And sleepless eyes.

I cry!

And I pray to be only yours!

And I pray to be only yours!

When there was nothing nowhere

You were the one, the only one,

Even now, you are the only truth-

The real Sublime!

So I request thee, my creator…

Of all the arrogance,

Dreams and desires

Free my soul,

Cleanse my mind!

Let me discover

You in me

As I know not

Who am I!

I know not

Who am I!
