The Homeless Treasure Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The Homeless Treasure



This place has a vault of sky,
Is it limitless in a walled pavilion.
The one who sits outside,
Is the homeless treasure.
The thief of my heart!
For whom is the lock and key?

For the great Sufi poet Hakim Sanai of Ghazni. (11th century)
