Constant Energy Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Constant energy for the love
Tribulations many towards end
Are distractions malevolence
Much pain for body and mind

For the one in faith to achieve
Blessings many as pain itself
The thorns are flowers and sharp
The pebbles for bare feet stars

Is not the beloved a whole
A glimpse of sweetness or
Agonies inflicted in separation
When thou hast set thine eyes

On the distant beyond yet nearer
Shalt thou complain of hurting
In the eternal sea of longing
Thou art but a dropp recycled

In cosmos the energy to enchain
And bring it forth in constant spin
Of activity perpetual without end
For the unseen lineages linked

Smoldered lover like the glance
Of beloved with many illusions
Memory of past and phantasm
Of future no one knoweth not
