Only humility can bring you to the high seat of God. <br />Bow down just a hair, and before Him wear proudly your hat. <br />The solemn palace of love cannot permit joking gestures. <br />The eyes, like dew, should receive the seal of a dab of tears. <br />Non-existence has an image and a world of its own. <br />Realities are sometimes created in the footprints of passerby. <br />No one could help rid me of my dual self. <br />I lowered my head and took refuge in my solitary, inner self. <br />Vain was my search for Joseph in lust's land of Canaan. <br />Perhaps I, too, should go into myself and differ a well inside. <br />If, within your heart flows the never-ending blessing of morning light, <br />Your days will never know darkness, though all existence turns into night.<br /><br />Abdul Qader Baydel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ghazal-1-2/
