The Gazals

if the door is shut
right in your face
keep waiting with patience
don't leave right away
seeing your patience
your love will soon
summon you with grace
raise you like a champion
and if all the roads
end up in dead ends
you'll be shown the secret paths
no one will comprehend
..............
ah i better keep silence
i know this endless love
will surely arrive
for you and you and you
........
if your beloved
has the life of a fire
step in now and burn along
in a night full of
suffering and darkness
be a candle spreading light till dawn
...........
even if you feel
torn to pieces
sew yourself new clothes
your body and soul
will surely feel the joy
when you simply go along
........
don't say what is the use
of me alone being peaceful
when everyone is fighting
you're not one
you're a thousand
just light your lantern
since one live flame
is better than
a thousand dead souls
........
find yourself a friend
who is willing to
tolerate you with patience
put to the test the essence
of the best incense
by putting it in fire
drink a cup of poison
if handed to you by a friend
when filled with love and grace
step into the fire
like the chosen prophet
the secret love will change
hot flames to a garden
covered with blossoms
roses and hyacinths and willow
........
go my friend
bestow your love
even on your enemies
if you touch their hearts
what do you think will happen
