Beloved Tavern of Ruins

به یاد زلف سیاهش

2011-01-07T23:01:00.001-08:00

چه عهد ها که نبستم که باز نمانم ز راه خانه دوست چه توبه ها که شکستم به باده ی لب لعلش

Before Forever Gone!

2010-12-26T22:57:00.000-08:00

Dreamed about and enchanted by "Hu" long ago in the hazy past in search of "Whom" been wandering along to the numbered breaths remained; and scenting the "Fragrance" wherever it may lead... ***

How many more roads

must you walk down

before you're forever gone?!

Onto Thee O Lord, my Beloved...

2009-11-06T23:21:00.000-08:00

Onto Thee, O Beloved, do i yearn to turn all my love, so as nothing remains of me but Thee and Thee alone in all do i seek till it come through...

O Beloved Lord, I love Thee alone, and as thou dwellest in the hearts of all Thine true lovers, O Lord I beseech Thee, O Dearest of all, to guide me to those among Thine true lovers to stand the agony of these fleeting wandering days of bitter exile...

رها ز هرچه جز اوست

2009-10-11T22:45:00.000-07:00

فرو نشسته ام این جا

میان خوف و رجا

رجا به دیدن رویش

رها زهرچه جزاوست

دت ایز...رها از هیچ!

Sitting down here

Amid trust and fear

Trust in seeing Him

Free from all other than Him

Namely…free from no Thing!

World's changing, Love's ripening

2009-08-19T20:03:00.000-07:00

The Holy Architect is planning a new world,
That's why He is demolishing the old one,
Perchance!

Love'll prevail, as it's ripening....
May we survive the Change
Amen

Long after those days....

2009-02-17T23:17:00.000-08:00

Love knows we're still wandering in this circling celestial sphere...

عشق دادند که در این دایره سرگردانیم

... heart's hidden door to You!

2008-03-11T23:37:00.000-07:00

There are as many Ways to the Beloved as there are created Souls; and I take the shortcut: my heart's hidden door to You!

You are We in our Oneness
The Soul of all souls,
Love of all loves,
Light of all lights
Shining on from the East of Love and Light;
Spreading over our Hearts' Horizons to the West of beautiful souls and minds;
Glowing and growing into full panoramic vistas of our entire heavenly collective Being...
May It be so!
May It ever be so!

دلی دارم که شراب هم آرامش نمی کند --- مگر شراب یاد وصل نگار

2008-01-11T23:54:00.001-08:00

Hu!

I have a heart that no wine whatsoever can console,
Except the wine of ever recalling the joy of joining with the Beloved.

Haqq!

Love to All Seekers of Love for the Beloved!

2008-01-01T06:41:00.000-08:00

Thanks Divinity, the Loved One, the Beloved, for guiding us thus far.
He will not leave us on our own, sure He won't.
He is closer to us than our own inner core of heart.
He is Love in us, in each and every atom.
He is Love to us.
He is Love in me, Love in you, and Love in all.
Love's pouring down,
Love's flying by,
Like the rain drops in the wind.
Caressing the soul and the heart.
And....
What comes to heart, may come true
And stay for good!

A Drop of Love Dew

2007-10-30T22:29:00.001-07:00

The day the dust of Heart was being kneaded
A dewdrop of Love was dropped in
....... And there ...... upon Their Fall .......
That dewdrop turned into torrents of tears
Burning in brimful eyes of
Lovers banished from their
Beloved's Garden of
Oneness
......... Hu! .......

You are All-Love O Beloved! And Love's all we have!

2007-10-24T02:12:00.000-07:00

Thanks Divinity
The Almighty One
The Beloved
For guiding us thus far
He will not leave us on our own
I'm dead sure He won't
He is closer to us
Than our own
inner core of heart
He is in us
He is with us
He is Me
He is You
He is We in One
He is Soul of the souls
............................................and
What comes to heart, may come true!...

May the Wine of Your Remembrance never be Spared from the Hearts!

2007-10-13T02:19:00.000-07:00

The Loving Grace of the Beloved, the One and only Truth, is descending from the Unseen,

Now drizzling, now downpouring; But surely selective to the wide open hearts.

O Beloved Lord! Help us keep our hearts ever wide open to host the rays of Your shining Grace that is reverberating in every particle of Your Creation, and from all the loving hearts of the blessed who are cherishing You in each and every iota of their soul and body. O Lord! We are desperate drops drifting in small brooks straying and drowning onto the desert of dunya, and dews drying out under the scorching sun of wanton desires. Have mercy O Beloved! Lead us by Your most bounteous Grace toward torrential rivers of Your true lovers that are wave after wave joining the Ganges of Oneness that is flowing toward Your Cosmic Ocean of Endless Love and Bliss!

شراب یاد توهرگز ز دل دریغ مباد

Dance in the wind, sing into the breeze, True Sama may follow!

2007-10-05T02:21:00.000-07:00

Hu The Beloved

Dance, as though walking through the wind
Sing, as though whispering to the breeze
Love, as though caressing the Beloved
In an unending whirling elation
To the highest heaven & Beyond
Then, once There
May you find that
In such pure Love
The Master is You
The Beloved is You
The Seeker and the Sought and Seeking is You
You alone in a mirror of a thousand folds
With a myriad of radiant colors
Merging into a pure
Praying colorless

Soul in Sama
With

The Beloved Hu.

Ever Thirsty Heart

2007-09-18T23:56:00.001-07:00

I have a heart
That even the strongest wine
Would not console
Except the wine
Of recalling now and ever
The joy of joining back with

The Beloved...
...
What rare Wine!
What soothing Console!
What long-looking
Yet so short
A Road!

You

2007-09-09T01:53:00.001-07:00

Your Remembrance apart

all leaves of memory

are blowing in

the cold

wind

in the

dead of night

and the clamors of day

Your beautiful names overresonate!

How can I ever even begin to be grateful of You, my Dear Beloved Lord, ...

2007-09-08T02:45:00.000-07:00

...for all the raptures and ravishing moments You keep gracing me with;

...for all the blessed roads and relations You open up to me;

...for all the radiant light you keep showering on my soul, far beyond my merit!?

Then, O Dear Beloved Lord!

I, as a mere no one-son-of no one, beseech You imploringly

to melt away the last remaining iotas of my wandering bewildered being

into your Infinite Ocean of Mercy and loving grace,

leaving not a single trace of me, not even a shadow or a shade...

For, You are All and Everythingl:

the flight of butterfly,

fragrance of the budding rose,

the blues in the lonely hearts of lovers,

the light of the light of the whole Cosmos and far far beyond...

and my detached part from You, the wandering drop in exile from the Ocean,

desperately longing for falling back where it belongs.
