Sohbet of the Week (11 - 25)

Sufi Poems – Mirabai - 18

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

Unbreakable

 

Unbreakable, O Lord,

is the love that binds me to You;

 

like a diamond,

it breaks the hammer that strikes it.

 

My heart goes into You

as the polish goes into the gold;

as the lotus lives in its water,

I live in You.

 

Like the bird

that gazes all night

at the passing moon,

I have lost myself dwelling in You.

 

Oh my Beloved – Please return!

Heartily,

Puran
