Within

Within me are the five oceans,
And within me float the seven skies,
Within me countless suns shine,
Within me moons and stars reside,
Within me are the mountains so high,
Within me are the forests so bright,
I hold the breeze within me,
I carry the storms no one can see,
Within me is whole of the creation,
And within me is the creator Himself.

Soul's Call

I do not really do,
What they think I do,
I'm just a means,
But in fact it's You.
Through me You love,
Through me You write,
Through me it's done,
You remain out of sight.
I do not deserve,
Your gracious blessing,
I'm a sinful soul,
In torn dressing.
What more do I say,
What more do I write,
My soul lost itself,
When it found You beside.
O Merciful!
Listen to my soul's call,
Into the world so mean,
Do not let it again fall,
Do not let it again fall.

Who?

Who else can
know better,
the sufferings
of my own soul,
except me?
O Lord!

And,
if not me,
then You.
If not You,
then who?

Coming Back

I forgot my path,
I forgot my way,
But, O Lord,
You never left me,
Whatever it may.
I went off the track,
And with mercy and grace,
You brought me back.
Over the time I realized,
With every mistake,
I became wise.
Trusting someone
Other than You,
Only left me feeling blue.
And now,
When I make a come back,
Accept me with forgiveness,
And complete me where I lack.

A Prayer

Towards you, O Lord,
You pulled me by chance,
Since that very moment,
I long for your glance.
But still feel so far,
From you I'm still apart.
This path seems so long,
Full of stones and thorns.
Just one wish I make,
Just one pledge I take,
For my soul's sake,
The journey ends soon,
Bless me with this boon,
And in the meanwhile I pray,
It takes longer than it may,
But, 'I quit', never must I say.

The Path

I know my way,
I know my path.
It's of light and sound,
Not of void and dark.
I shall keep walking,
Leaving not any mark.
I'll not return to play again,
This world is not my park.

The Fall

Despite all the cautions my heart takes,
if, however, I fall in the ocean of love,
do not come to rescue,
do not extend your helping hand.
Let me take a plunge,
deep down the untraveled path,
do not pull me up to life again,
for the one who falls in love once,
rises above all the sins.

The Soul Drop

I am not religious,
I discard all religions,
I deny all Gods,
Stone and metal
I do not worship.

Within me, is my Lord,
Waiting to be searched.
With the grace of my Master,
I have known His abode.

The drop is ready to fall
In the ocean of love.
Soul has lost its identity and
Has turned into heavenly dove.

Cry of the Soul

This pain,
O Beloved,
of your separation,
is unbearable.

Shower your grace,
Wash my sins,
Have mercy,
And forgive.

Listen to the cry,
Of my soul, O Beloved,
Give it a chance,
Uncover the covered.

In Search Of God

I went to temple, God wasn't there,

there was only a stone statue standing,

I bowed to it and came back.

I went to the mosque, He wasn't there as well,

there lying was some sacred soul in deep sleep,

I didn't feel like to disturb and came back.

I went to gurdwara, didn't saw Him there too,

there was kept a covered holy book in the middle,

I sat there for a while and came back.

I went to the church, God wasn't there again,

Christ's statue I saw having both eyes closed,

I lit a candle and came back.

I looked up at the sky and prayed,

that God please show me where you are?

the dark clouds poured some drops on me.

I sat under a tree to get shelter,

and waited for the rain to stop.

the tree didn't even hesitate to get me in.

The rain soon stopped and I got up,

to continue my journey in search of God.

as I started to walk the tree waved me.

Soon I began to think about quiting,

but somewhere deep inside me,

a voice called me up to don't lose hope.

I again started to walk with no clear path,

mountains, forests, deserts and oceans,

nothing left to be visited on the planet.

Then I looked inside me again,

to find where the voice came from earlier,

I realized I was carrying my destination with me.

The journey ended where it had begun from.
