*slow The Love (Visions) Encore Ii Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

In the lullaby of nature when like Jacob blinded
For the lost love in deceit the patience when mundane
In long waiting for the beloved with blood when Joseph
His shirt devoured by wolf and one day when the shirt
To the Jacob brought as if the beloved had shown
The sight returned to the eyes of Jacob

Like visions thou revealeth in fairies and like the shirt
My sight I had lost for the treasure in my chest
Beyond nature and the world of the known in flash
The angel of love with the fervor of goddess
What name I give you as none like thyself
Like Marry the face soothing your memories are
And like touch of Jesus for the dead thou awake

In visions and in arms like the child for suckling
From the streams of heaven and the mist oblivious
My words they love for the raga they need
Reality I shall handle in my arms twist
In dreams let the beloved my love wake me not
They say I am blind but they see not
When last night she showed herself like the first
Moon of the month or like the star in travel to the north

Morning O morning tell the dawn to hold back
The story of my love in prologue yet the song
When in dancing flame I saw the gorgeous self
Beyond she said that I search her for love
