Sohbet of the Week (30 - 24) Hydrabad poetry around 1910 – 8 Hazrat Inayat Khan, during his stay at the Court of the Nizam of Hydrabad around 1910, collected a rich variety of poetry and music, which is published in the ‘Minqār-i-Musiqār’, presented in our earlier Sohbets – the book is available at Sulukpress. * * * Ghazal of Ashna – Rāg Harī Kāmodi, Tāl Jhaptālā Note: the Name Āshnā means ‘Friend’
I supposed you were the remedy for the malady of love It did not work, for my pain without remedy is you.
I had unconditional faith, even in your oppression and cruelty. How can this go on: Me with faith and you, faithless?
I am also allowed to be jealous, if you love others. If there is good in the pain of intimacy, then you are the lover’s delight.
Even God is not pleased with this much vainglory. You won’t speak to anyone, are you then some sort of god? Will others rest assured in your friendship?
You who have betrayed me, whose āshnā (friend) are you?
* * * Heartily, Puran Dear friends, here is a wonderful website - an overview over all the many outstanding poets which the Indian Sufi Culture has brought in the course of the many centuries.
