Sohbet of the Week (23 - 26) Sufi Poems – Mirabai - 50 Mirabai (1498-1546) was an Indian mystic and poetess. Her very personalized ecstatic songs of love, praise and lamentation have remained alive through the centuries and are still recited and sung by Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and Christians alike on the Indian subcontinent today. * * *
You Are Right – I went to the Market
My friend, I went to the market and bought the Dark One.
You claim by night, I claim by day. In fact, I was beating a drum all the time when I was buying him.
You say I gave too much; I say too little. Actually, I put him on a scale before I bought him.
What I paid was my social body, my town body, my family body, and all my inherited jewels.
Mirabai says: The Dark One is my husband now. He is with me when I lie down; you promised me this in an earlier life. . * * * Heartily, Puran |
