Student from Hind to teacher in Persia
Words on fire from Iqbal to Rumi
Seek in poetry of Iqbal-o-Rumi O love
The passions and love of knowledge O my burning desires
Iqbal asked: what is life and what is death?
Ustad-e- Rumi called me to the graveyard
Rumi answered setting fire on my house
Run into the loneliness and jump into troubles
Say no more drunkard words O Iqbal says Rumi
Take not my flesh O Rumi cried Iqbal
Set my soul free like camels in deserts
Rumi shook his head around and shouted
Leave thy body and let thy soul wander like moses for years in a lonely desert my dear
Choice have I not one O passions flames by Iqbal and Rumi
I shouldn’t have read you both
I fell in love with books and solitude
People no longer interest me O Rumi but words you poured into my being
Traditions no longer appeal me O Iqbal but the revolution of your poetry
Like sun I’m flaming with poems
Like the grass on ground I drink wine
Does poets live in another universe?
Asked Iqbal?
Is not the universe so vast O blood raging
Answered Rumi
Come and dance with my poetry O reader
Let us migrate to poets worlds and their madness
Let your passions flames leave thy earth
To the stars Rumi called me and to The moon Iqbal pushed me
I no longer can breath air but poetry alone
Let me be a poet in words of poets and poets all around poets and poetry
I slaughtered my body and freed the soul O Rumi
