Infectious By Hafiz
Infectious!
by Hafiz
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
I became infected with happiness tonight
as I wandered idly, singing in the starlight.
Now I'm wonderfully contagious—
so kiss me!...

What is Sufi?
Who is Hamzah Fansuri?
We know Marco,
We know Atlas,
We know Amerigo,
But who is Al-Attas?
Sudah hilangkah jati diri?
Ibarat Laki tinggalkan Bini!
Lupakah hati bahasa sendiri?
Adat di jiwa bak karatnya kersani!...

Paralysed
When,
the scream ends, you start
digging the shadows of
red berries.
The sky,
scoops the children of rape,
waiting for
the rains.
The tiger beetle,
will run after the winged prey
of first love.
Would you like to taste
the moon in the dark bowl
of malicious night ?
Reading about the spell
of the roses, I went to a
Sufi, for an epitaph.

Bird Song
Some are clearly Buddhist
while others are painted egos,
like Catholic effigies.
Species preach
their own cyclical creed;
melodies as pretty
as a Sufi poem
or gritstone in the zealot's caw.
It is the reverberation
of light and sound
that we recognize,
the feathered mantra's,
Psalms for the solar plexus.
Then there are the faithless calls
of mockingbirds -
there's always a 'then'....

This Or That
I have loved Thee with two loves -
a selfish love and a love that is worthy of Thee.
As for the love which is selfish,
Therein I occupy myself with Thee,
to the exclusion of all others.
But in the love which is worthy of Thee,
Thou dost raise the veil that I may see Thee.
Yet is the praise not mine in this or that,
But the praise is to Thee in both that and this.
By Rabia al Basri (A classic Sufi poet)...
