Salimi
20th Century Allama Iqbal UrduTo Salimi
Whose manifestation the star-seeing eye has witnessed, In the sun, in the moon, in the assembly of the stars;
Whom the Sufi found in the heart's chamber of darkness, Whom the poet beheld in Nature's vibrant artistry;
Whose sparkle is manifest, whose fragrance is unveiled, In the pearls of the dew, in the raiment of the flowers;
Who settled the desert, becoming its very silence, Whose breath ignites the tumult in the garden's abode.
Though Its Beauty is manifest in all things, Salimi, in your eyes lies Its Perfection.
