(Bang-e-Dra-074) Sulema

Sulaima

Jis Ki Namood Dekhi Chasm-e-Sitara Been Ne
Khursheed Mein, Qamar Mein, Taron Ki Anjuman Mein

The one whose manifestation witnessed the astronomer’s eye
In the sun, in the moon, in the assembly of stars

Sufi Ne Jis Ko Dil Ke Zulmat Kade Mein Paya
Shayar Ne Jis Ko Dekha Qudrat Ke Bankpan Mein

Whom the Sufi found in the dark recesses of his heart
Whom the poet saw in the midst of elegance of Nature

Jis Ki Chamak Hai Paida, Jis Ki Mehak Haweda
Shabnam Ke Motiyon Mein, Phoolon Ke Pairhan Mein

Whose brilliance exists, whose fragrance persists
In the pearls of dew, in the shirts of flowers

Sehra Ko Hai Basaya Jis Ne Sukoot Ban Kar
Hangama Jis Ke Dam Se Kashana-e-Chaman Mein

Who has inhabited the wilderness by becoming tranquillity
Whose Presence creates the uproar in the midst of the garden

Har Shay Mein Hai Namayan Yun To Jamal Uss Ka
Ankhon Mein Hai Sulema! Teri Kamal Uss Ka

Though His Beauty is manifest in everything
In your eye is Its climax, O Sulaima!
