Abyat-e-Bahoo


Translation

Being an ardent lover foster your ardent love and your heart like mountain you retain Hoo

Hundreds thousands of enmities and thousands of taunts as spring meadows you sustain Hoo

As Hallaj crucified entire secrets who ascertain Hoo

Never to lift the head from prostration ‘Bahoo’ even thousands call you infidel again and again Hoo

Commentary by M. A. Khan

If you want to be ardent lover and you have to foster it by having determination like mountains and not to waver at any difficulty even if you have thousand complaints and criticism of yourself remain steadfast. Upon the arduous path of people like Shah Mansoor who was acquainted with the secrets of Almighty’s essence was crucified. The genuine ardent lovers never lift their heads from the prostration of actual essence of Allah Almighty even if you are called as infidel by people.
