Loving more of You, my heart sensed more of Your attributes- Watered by more of Your Rahamat- The seed began blossoming. Knowing more of You, the Heart grew more needy, Of nothing, but You- Of nobody but You.
My Lord..
In its struggle to learn about life truths,
My heart was compelled to reach out to You.
And sensing the presence of You,
Your Unfathomable Power and Supreme Might ;
Compelled my heart to lean more of You.
Knowing more of You, the Heart grew more needy,
Of nothing, but You-
Of nobody but You-
Being more closer,
Perhaps more connected,
And surely more accepted.
Wavering between certainty of Your Pleasure and the opposite,
My heart continued the struggle.
Asserting and radiating, its faith,
With every drop of tear shed while supplicating,
Every bend of joint while praying.
And yet continued to struggle.
Trembling between coldness of fear of You,
And warmth that’s caused by unconditional love for You,
My Heart remained determinedly restless.
Between Hope for Your Bond and thus Love.
And Fear of being distanced, and thus lost.
My heart though kept struggling,
Yet never stopped loving and searching.
It carried the seed,
But only reaching the serene settlement it ended much struggling.
For only Love to be handling.
Loving more of You, my heart sensed more of Your attributes
Watered by more of Your Rahamat (1)
The seed began blossoming.
The fruit went on radiating
The very same love You originally imbibed,
In my heart which was once struggling.
But now is flowering:
Love for You
And Faith in You.
