Whirl Oh Dervish Whirl Poem by Mushtaque B Barq

Whirl Oh Dervish Whirl

Rating: 3.5


Whirl O Darvish whirl
Lower thy robe black
Shun thy corporeal wings
Do whirl in snow white bell shroud
Lift thy right hand
Palm let face the Vast
Lower thy left hand in submission
Whirl whirl keep thy right foot fixed
Revolve like a planet in its axis
Do whirl into unknown realms
Around the manifested
On the beats of drum
On the shrill of flute
Go on whirling to let the door
Be open for thy flight
Bow before the post
Where master's shadow stays
Grab a kiss on thy cap
And start whirling again
Recite GOD to make a move
Like a day be sun
And moon of fortnight
Whirl O Darvish whirl
Thy abode in spaceless ether
Thy heart a burning furnace
See through thy light
You whirl around you
Till thy your vanishes away
He in ye appears
Whilr whirl and whirl
He alone pulsating in ye
Do whirl till ye forget thy name
And ye shall emerge from endless sea
Into thy origin ye shall vanish
To complete thy calender.
