Spiritual Poems:

[Abdur Rahman]

Peace, one and all...

Firstly, my apologies for not posting much of late (my comments that is). I have been reading but have had little time to post. Insha Allah, I will add comments on the many gems here in the coming days.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this offering...

This Secret Game of Ours

Beloved, You are the Hunter
and I, the frightened prey.

Wherever I flee,
there You are lying in wait.

When I run towards the sun,
I find Your Face shining brightly.

When I scatter myself into darkness and woe,
the moonbeams of Your Glance strike my heart.

Walking gently amidst the hills,
I find You in wait amongst the trees.

Flying in delirium through the night sky,
the Light of Your Eyes radiates through the stars.

Beloved, I run to escape You
and the arrows of Your Love.

Or, perhaps,
I run so that You will give chase.

Either way, Thief of my heart,
let this secret game of ours never end.

Abdur Rahman
