SHAH ABDUL LATIFS POETRY




Kapaitie-XXV(Spinner) 1 Although a spinner, not dependupon yourself entirely;The knowing buyer faults at endmay find within your thread. 2 As long as you can spin, spin on,work-season soon declines;All spinners are...but work of allis not in favour lines-She ne'er breaks thread, nor for rest pineswho has realized the truth. 3 This phase will end so soon, as long,you acn spin, spinning keep-For your Eid do prepare a workof art, and success reap.That scorching tears you may not weep'midst your girl friends tomorrow. 4 Toil on and feel not proud, or elseyour Lord offended be-The wheel turn...round your neck hang scarfOf sweet humility...You little faulty one-then seeyour work is not in vain. II 5 When connoisseurs arrived, they found,the flaws that did not please.They called to spinner...in their waythey asked: "How made you these?""Untidy I, have failed to teasethe lumps from out the yarn."- 6 With rancour in their hearts, althoughwith fine yarn spools they fill,Not even an ounce the expert willOf their product accept.- 7 Wondrous devotion spinners have,who tremble, spin and spin;For earning good, in spinning yardat sun-rise they begin-Such soul-beauty the connoisseurseven for themselves would winYarn spun by spinners so genuinewithout weighing they buy.- III 8 Who in themselves the cotton thrashtheir thread,s without compeer;The 'whirr' of spinning wheel, they wouldnot let their life's breath hear,-Secretly, tremlingly they goon spinning so sincere-Those that refuse the jewels here,priceless themselves they are. 9 Now yesterday you did not spin-Today you have no time to spend;...You silly one, how long the friendshall overlook your faults? 10 The spinners, spinning, spinning were-but now not one I spy-Spinning wheels in disorder lie,and sitting huts are closed.- 11 I neither see same cotton-podsnor spinners are the same-So empty the bazar becometo see it, breaks my hearts! 12 Wool in my tunic, I proceedto spinning-yard...alas,No single spinner breathing wasthey'd gone to sleep for aye.____________________ Barwo Sindhi-XXII(Beloved) I1 O say, to what end you to otherswould a servant be?Of Gen'rous one hold stirrup, Lordof worlds and Destiny?Who loves Allah alone, but hesupremely happy is! 2 A reed doth murmur with distresswhen cut , so even ICry suddenly for loved-one ina fit of wretchedness;-O leech, brand not my arm, sicknessand pain are in the heart! 3 My breath no longer is my own-ruled now by other power-How is my breast assailed by woethat has a mountain grown?My love, in dream Himself had shown,brought joy, and then had gone! 4 When longing for you in despair,Loved-one if once you came-My eye lashes upon your feetI'd lay in humblest prayerI'd for your carpet spread my hairand be your slave for aye!5 Beloved, all from thee is good!but still, 't was not thy way,To take me mad with love and thendepart with changing mood;And let me die in solitude,e'en though you loved me not! II 6 Today again mine eyes are drenched,remembering the loved one-The drops of tear ne'er cease to flow,till all my being,s blenched;Longing for loved-one is not quenchedby looking at His works! 7 Today they called, with eyes so kind;and killed me with their eyes...My flesh they distributed andleft skeleton behind-Did urge to search for truth and practicepatience in the mind;They killed her whom they dead did findaft'r wounding with smiles! 8 Sometimes their doors with latches tied,On other days wide open are;Some days I cannot enter, somethey call me with them to abide-Sometimes I for their voices long;some days their secrets they confide;Such are my masters glorified,beloved masters mine! 9 O you, my dear beloved Sir,thy slave I wholly am;With folded hands I ever serve,thy presence I desire;Not for a minute from your doorO sir, I would retire,I pray; Beloved do not tire-Thy kind looks not withdraw! 10 When with infinite grace, BelovedDoth walk upon the ground;With "Bismillah" earth on His pathprints kisses all around-The 'houris' by His beauty struckstand with submission bound-I swear, that never I have foundsuch Beauty any where! 11 As smith a link with link doth jointo make it ever last,So Loved-one fixed me up, and fastHe holds me ever more! III 12 The worlds os passing soon or late,one breath it is, not long;And with their feet they'll bury youa tomb will be your fate;The measuring rod and spade, do waitas last things on this earth.- 13 Friendship by words they do profess;an easy thing to do;The proof will come when need and stressthe real friends will reveal. 14 Changed Adam's children now do treatsincerity as trifle;Who on this earth a human being'sflesh would like to cat?O friend in this world nothing willremain but perfume sweet,One single-minded you may meetall else is outward show! 15 The heart loves only One and moreit never doth admit;Give your heart to that One, evenIf hundreds sue for it;Ridiculous are those that flitfor friends from door to door! 16 My loved ones, all my blemishes...weaknesses came to know;They never did reproach me...nay,nor did they anger show-Loved-ones a covering did bestowo'er all my shortcoming! 17 The Generous One, presence of loved oneskindly granted me-Their thoughts were to return and re-establish harmony;Their way is: though a breech there bethey never will forsake.____________________ Mumal and Rano-XXII1 With love, all unalloyed, is dightYogi entirely-Like image at rising sunhe flutters, he Kak, where with delightvirgins enlivened him. 2 The yogi looks like sun so fair,when scaling morning-skiesSuch sweet entrancing fragrance poursfrom out his silken hair;Show us the land, where fragrance rareO yogi you obtained! 3 O loin-clothed, one, let us know,the way you virgins metWhy from your eyes continuouslythe tears of blood do flow?O Sami! on us light bestowof beauty that you found! 4 "Go, go, to waters of Kak gowhere love is made, they say;Where there is neither night nor dayall shall Beloved see! 5 Resplendent diamondss gleam within Magnetic Mumal's eyes...Common or uncommon, who triesto see these eyes, is slain. 6 O camel, for such enterprisemaster bred you with care;With vigilance cross over nowto where Ludhana lies;Mumal we have to face this eve,or when the sun doth rise;With her consent on Kak's suppliesof blossoms you may browse.- 7 Beautiful like the roses sweetare robes of damsels fair...In Jasmin-fragrant coiffuers theyhave piled their long, fine hair.From Beauty so entrancing, loveis kindled everywhere;Wondrous show, damsels spinning thereon-lookers dumb-struck gaze. 8 Like fresh pan-leaves are shawls they wearof shimmering emerald silk-Their bodies all refreshed with atterand ambergris rare;From fullsome platis sandle and muskperfume all round the air;And delicate ears, dainty wareof glistening gold do hold-Today Mumal's in glorious fromrejoicing, free from care;Because Rano without compare,her fiansee hath become!... 9 Mumal had wounded many, loshe's wounded now instead-A pointed arrow struck her headfrom knightly Rano's bow.- II 10 Although Rano not destined isMumal to be with thee-This will be clear from Rano's love...still not resentful be,Weep not, but bear it patiently,Be true to kinship new. 11 Kak could not hold those wanderersCastles not tempt their mind...No maid or mistresses their heartswith magic strings could bindFor e'er Lahutis left behindmyraids of maids as these.- 12 Kak could not hold those wanderersfor wealth they did not care,-It was by men of such a mouldroyal virgins wounded were-Lahutis they could not ensnarewith all their coquetry. 13 They passed Kak at the corner, longthat corner turned have they...To those who are now far awaywhat shall some 'Natir' do?

II 7 Ah, those that are from longing freehow Kech can ever reach?Such wishful hundreds did I seethat ere mid-way gave up. 8 Each doth express a wish, but noneready for hunger is...To walk is not for every one.nor make a trip like this-I take for company, I was,one who not loves the 'Self'. 9 I pledged my troth when innocent;suspecting no torment;Nor knew brothers in law would leavewith me longing, lament...The longing one, on seeking bentMust now through mountains roam. 10 O sisters, when my troth I plightedignorant was I;Or with my mountaineer's subjectionhow could I comply?A brief talk did my being tieto Punhu for all life. 11 Those, who do husbands own, return-I'll not come without mine;To search the deepest mountain depthand turn each stone, I yearn,To settle love's account I burnwith camel-riders there.
