PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

O Omar Khayyam, resting beneath the bough!

O Al Hallaj, martyr of truth!

Tell me more about divine love,

Tell me what you gained, what you forsook.



I have drunk deep from your fountain of wisdom,

I have sent my soul on its flights of freedom,

I worship the Creator and adore creation,

But my senses haven't been numbed by intoxication.



You fascinate me, I am entranced by the Qur'an,

Yet there are some secrets I cannot fathom,

Tell me O you wise ones, sages of the ages!

Where to find the drink of self-annihilation.



I long to drink from the divine cup of love,

And negate my entirety for the One Above,

Not a thought of anything else do I want,

Except the fulfilment of a forgotten vow.
