Sufi Poems – Mirabai - 14

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.

An Arm Just Moved

 

You taught Your songs

to the birds first,

why was that?

 

And You practised Your love

in the hearts of animals

before You created the human being.

 

I know the planets talk at night

and tell secrets about You.

 

An arm just moved before me,

the beauty of this world

is causing me to weep.

Heartily,

Puran
