Ghareb Tus

Bloody sorrow paints the dawn
the sun of certitude has set
starlit tears fall from the sky
rose petals in cry full dew wet

In the deep cave of solitude
worshippers prostrate to pain
flashbacks revealed to my soul
as the fire of love is silenced by rain

The ascension of a stranger
free from the shackles of lust
this lover of humanity
like a bird was put to dust

His only sin was the Beloved
a love illuminating the moon
he was crowned in martyrdom
and by the lost called majnun

Thin reed by him sway
as all the divine might
the chosen mystics say
is manifested in his light

The river of harmony
purer then a peaceful dove
his soul took farewell
annihilated in celestial love

Angels caress my dreams
whispering secrets whose
eternity I forever shall hymn
the memory of Ghareb Tus..
