THE CANDLE OF EXISTENCE

THE CANDLE OF EXISTENCE

Will I happen to leave this residence one day?

I fly from this world and within the eternity world I nest.

Would it come that time that within the beloved's candle being?

Burnt-feather and wings I consume like moth in the night.

I turn away from the tavern and the monastery,

To the soil of the cup-bearer of the tavern I genuflect,

It was not aquired by the Sufi and Sheikhs preaching,

To a frenzied and lovesick idod I approach.

Your tress and your lip’s mole are seed and snare how;

The bird of the heart from these snare and seed can I release.

May it be that from this idol temple I expel,

I leave this strange house blind fast flapping.
