Only You!!!

Only You
I choose
among the entire world

is it fair
of You
letting me be unhappy

my heart
is a pen
in your hand

it is all
up to you
to write me happy or sad

I see only
what you reveal
and live as you say

all my feelings
have the color
you desire to paint

from the beginning
to the end
no one but you

please make
my future
better than the past

when you hide
i change
to a Godless person

and when you
appear
I find my faith

don't expect
to find any more in me
than what you give

don't search for
hidden pockets because
i've shown you that
all I have
is all you gave.

Raat youn dil mein teri khoi hoi yaad aiee
jesay weraney mein chup kay say bahar aa jaaeay

jesay sahraon mein holay say chalay baad naseem
jesay bemar ko bay wajha karar aa jaaey!

I wish I could provide a translation for these beautiful lines!

The illumined Soul

Never for a moment did he cease from listening to music and dancing;
Never did he rest by day or night.

He had been a mufti: he became a poet.
He had been an ascetic: he became intoxicated by Love.
'Twas not the wine of grape: the illumined soul drinks only the wine of light!

Rubayat, Rumi

Does thou suppose
I do as I command,

Or, as the moment goes,
I am in my own hand?

As a pen I lie
Before my scrivener,
Or like a ball am, I
My mallet's prisoner

Rubayat, Rumi

Love came and went again,
Like blood within my flesh and vein;
From self Love set me free
And with the Friend completed me.

Only remains my name;
My beings every particle
The Friend took for His claim,
And so the Friend became my whole
