Translation
Mercy showers is in such house where love's lamps are lit Hoo
The wind of ardent love blown up to sky where could I drop ship’s anchor to sit Hoo
Boat of intellect and thought on the first instance must drown it Hoo
Whatever direction I look ‘Bahoo’ my beloved is seen in it Hoo
Commentary by M. A. Khan
Mercy shower upon such heart where lamps of Allah’s enamour is glowing. In the river of Oneness the sail of my ardent love is up in the air, where I could anchor my ship of enamour. On the path of marifah one has to drown his intellectual reasoning because the knowledge of marifah is beyond the reach of intellectual reasoning and it could not be perceived without spiritual awakening. When one accesses spiritual wakening and then whichever direction one turns he sees Allah.
