Sohbet of the Week (21 - 26)

Sufi Poems – Mirabai - 49

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.

Only He Knows The Bitterness Of Love

 

Only he knows the bitterness of love

who has deeply felt its pangs.

 

When you are in trouble

no one comes near you:

 

When fortune smiles,

all come to share the joy.

 

Love shows no external wound,

but the pain pervades every pore.

 

Devotee Mira offers her body

as a sacrifice to Giridhara for ever.

Heartily,

Puran
