As drops of summer rain plows her barren land of heart
Desire of ‘Wisaal‘ sprouts; years of ‘Separation‘ cut apart
Renunciation of will, ecstatic pain of love’s desire grows
With the light of ‘Irfan‘, ruptured veins of her soul glows
‘Self‘ is abandoned; dew of ‘love‘ turns her dust into mud
From the very bosom of self, arises the scent of beloved
This tightly coiled fire of love is neither requited nor denied
Conventional ‘wisdom‘ reverses, ‘Junoon‘ cries out with pride
Shackles of ‘reason‘ are broken, It’s wise lectures are declined
Wish to become dust of His feet echoes in her oblivious mind
Then crushed soul leaves the body, far away from time and space
It becomes One with beloved while ‘Nafs‘ drowns in His grace
Human unites with God, Divine unites with Man; a bridge is done
Rhythm in the cry of ‘Hu‘ merges with the melody of ultimate One !
Secrets are unveiled, paradoxes solved, mystical assent completes
Levels of ‘Ishq‘ conquered, Mortality and immortality finally meets
Annihilation, ‘Fan’a‘; Death is all left behind, nothing to be afraid
Contentment in non-existence, euphoria from the death of blade.
(Wisaal:Reunite, Irfan:theological philosophy which seeks to describe being, Junoon:Madness, Nafs:Ego, Hu: Sound that imprint marks on heart, part of Allah’s name, Fan’a: Ultimate destruction)
This poem is dedicated to all the lovers of Allah, experiencing Ishq-e-haqiqui. Love is just a primary stage in the journey of Ishq. I have tried to explain all the levels of Ishq in my poem, through which one passes to reach the ultimate level, the level of death. May Allah blesses us with His Ishq.

You took me so close to the post I wrote a while back, Ishq-e-Haqiqi.

Hi Lala. It’s funny because I was thinking, “What do all these words mean?” And then you gave us a glossary. Thank you for that.
As for me, I can totally relate to connection with the Divine. I even wrote a song called, “Jehovah Shammah”, which means ‘God, my holy presence’. It basically states that He is with me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And I’m so glad for that, because this world is a really touch place to live.
You have a real gift, Lala. A true poet full of passion and spirit.
Bless you.
🙂 ❤
Oh my dear friend I kind of figured out while publishing this post that many of my friends won’t be able to understand these concepts in my native language. That is why I translated them at the end but I know you won’t be able to understand them still. Apologies for that 😦
I believe the same my friend that God is with us all the time. Thank you so much love, you are beautiful.
Awwww, thank you Lala. You are not only a poet when writing a poetry, but even in your comments/replies. YOU are beautiful.
By the way, if you would like to hear the song I spoke of above, you can find the audio on the right side bar of my blog. I have six of my songs up there (actually, 1 is a friend’s in Portuguese that they asked me to do an English version to). Anyhow, if you get the chance sometime, please feel free to take a listen sweetie.
Much love and blessings.
🙂
I felt the intensity…beautiful dedication
Love, Mehak
Oh Mehak thank you so very much for your beautiful words. Love you xx
