1:Jumaadi ul ukhraa -Hazrat Sultaan Baahuu (Rahmatul Laahi ‘Alaieh)

Continued......

Within me resounds the melody of Kalimaa,

The melody that love has taught me to hear.

Why don’t you put away your books,

And forget that you have learnt from them –

For within the Kalimaa you will find The fourteen inner realms.

Scholars sharpen reeds into pens,

But they are not capable of writing the true Kalimaa.

This Kalimaa has rid me of all afflictions Of the body and mind –

Only a Master could have taught it to me, O Baahuu.- -

My Master(Spiritual Guide) has planted in my heart,

The jasmine of Allaah [Ta'aalaa’s] Name.

Both my denial that the Creation is real And my embracing of God,

the only reality, Have nourished the seedling down to its core.

When the buds of mystery unfolded Into the blossoms of revelation,

My entire being was filled with [Allaah Kareem] God’s Fragrance.

May the perfect Master Who planted this jasmine in my heart,

Be ever blessed, O Baahuu!

Hazrat Sultaan Baahuu (Rahmatul Laahi ‘Alaieh) (1630 - 1691 AD) belonged to the Qaadiri Order of Soofie  and is known by the title of Sultaan-ul-Arifeen (king of the Gnostics). He is acknowledged as one of the most prominent Soofie poets of the Indo-Pak subcontinent.

Sultaan Baahuu like many other soofie saints of the South Asia, was  a prolific writer, with more than 100 books attributed to him. However, as the majority of his books deal with specialized subjects related to Islaam, it is his Punjabi poetry that has generated popular appeal and made him a household name in the region.....
