"SUFISM POETRY AND POEMS"

[From_Alamut]

Love is the path and road of our Prophet.


Grab the cloak of Muhammad, the Messenger,
and hear the call to prayer of Love
every moment from the soul of Bilal.


By: Mowlana Jelaluddin Balkhi Rumi (r.a)

He who loves Me, knows Me,
and He who knows Me, finds Me.
- traditional sufi saying

"He (God) loves them and they love Him"
- The Quran 5:54

[From_Alamut]

Fly only with the Guide’s wings

The Prophet said, “I am like a Ship in the Flood of Time.

I and my companions are like the Ark of Noah:

whoever clings to us will gain spiritual graces.”

When you are with the Guide you are far removed from evil:

day and night you are a traveler in a ship.

You are under the protection of a life-giving spirit:

you are asleep in the ship and proceeding on the way.

Don’t break with the prophet of your day;

don’t rely on your own skill and footsteps.

Lion though you are, to go on the way without a guide

is arrogant, foolish, and contemptible.

Step aboard the ship and set sail,

like the soul going toward the soul’s Beloved.

Without hands or feet, travel toward Timelessness

just as spirits flee from nonexistence.

By: Mowlana Jelaluddin Balkhi Rumi (r.a)

[From_Alamut]

“I sent my soul through the invisible,
Some letter of that after-life to spell:
By and by my soul returned to me,
And answered i myself am heaven and hell.”

By:Great Sufi Omar Khayyam (r.a)

[From_Alamut]

A beautiful Poem of Mowlana Rumi Jeladuddin Balkhi (ra) has been sang by Iranian singer Dariush.

Mowlana Rumi said:

"I am the servant of the Qur'an as long as I have life.
I am the dust on the path of Mohammad, the Chosen one.
If anyone quotes anything except this from my sayings,
I am quit of him and outraged by these words."

[From_Alamut]

You are in space, but your essence is in the Spaceless Realm; close
your business here and open it there. This world (of space) has
come into existence out of the Spaceless, and out of
Placeslessness it has secured a place'.

By: Mowlana Jelaluddin Balkhi Rumi (r.a)

[From_Alamut]

Anal Haqq

'The nearness to God is not attained by rising higher or diving deeper into spaces;
nearness to God is attained by shaking off the phenomenal existence. Early and
late and far and near and high and low do not exist in the Noumenal Reality. The
treasures of Truth are found in non-existence thou proud of thy existence
knowest not what non-existence means.'

By: Mowlana Jelaluddin Balkhi Rumi (r.a)

[From_Alamut]

I am Sorrowing

Rabia was asked, 'Whence have you come?' She said, 'From that world'. They
asked her, 'Whither are you going?' She replied, 'To that World'. She was asked,
'What are you doing in this world?' and she answered, 'I am sorrowing'. 'In what
way?' they asked, and she said, 'I am eating the bread of this world and doing
the work of that world'.

These are extremely wonderful poems. May I ask where could I get these books from. I would love to have these books in my collection.

[From_Alamut]

I am God is the absolute unveiling of the mysteries, there is none there other than God to utter it. All atoms of the universe, you may call them tipsy or intoxicated, that is their ‘tasbih’ and ‘tahili’ ( declaration of the unity and purity of god)

By: Great Sufi Master Mahmud Shabistari (r.a)

[From_Alamut]

'When a tree can be allowed to say I am God, why cannot a good soul utter it? He whose heart there is no doubt knows it for certain that reality is only one. In the presence of God there is no duality, there I, we and thou do not exist. I, we, thou, he are all one, because in unity there are no distinctions. Only the Being of God is eternal, all else perishes. The way, the wayfarer and the journey all become one’.
