Not in pursuit of pomp and of ...

Not in pursuit of pomp and of pageant , to this door of the murshid we have come

For shelter from ill - fortune , here we have come . *** Way - farers of love's stage are we and from the limits of non - existence ,

Up to the climes of existence , all this way we have come . *** The freshness of Thy down , we saw and , from the garden of paradise ,

In search of this love - grass , we have come . *** With such treasure , whose treasurer is the faithful spirit Jibra , il

In beggary to the door of the King's house we have come . *** O bark of grace the family of Muhammad thy anchor of patience 'Ali Murtaza is where

For , in this ocean of liberality , immersed in sin we have come . *** O cloud , sin - cleansing honour goeth mercy rain

For in the court of action as opposed to theory black of book , we have come , *** Hafiz this woollen khirka of outward worship cast . For with love's consuming and melting

From behind the kafila with the fire of sighing and wailing we have come . ***
