Amir Khosro Alai Poems

Krishna, you are the creator and my abode,
You hear my prayer and know the world,

You always give me what I need,
...

My mind is contaminated with material lust,
I am struggling with myself to do what I must,

I read all the books written through the ages,
I searched for the wisdom known to sages,
...

Love me forever as I love you,
I need your love to live life through,
When I found you that first time,
My life turned to joy and sublime,
...

: حافظ شیرازی
اگر آن ترک شیرازی بدست آرد دل مارا
به خال هندویش بخشم سمرقند و بخارا را
: صائب تبریزی
...

I would like to state my thoughts,
As an attempt to remove my doubts,
God's mud playing and his six days hold,
Is it the imagination of man as a story told?
...

Neither greetings, nor salute,
I am not black or either white,
Not as you've said, or as you've read,
What was told or what was heard,
...

The morning breeze greeting the dawn,
Lusters the green grass of the lawn,
Tempting to rest, lie under the sun,
Lest to enjoy, in case have fun,
...

For every birth there will be a death,
It is just a matter of time and faith,

For Dr. Heshmat who has lived a glorious life on Earth,
The gates of heaven are wide open, waiting an eternal birth,
...

I passed through solid and rose as plant,
Emerged as animal when I died off plant,

When died as animal, I became a man,
...
