Amidst the shadows of my mind,
A flicker of light I hope to find,
My heart aches with dark desire,
To feel the warmth of divine fire.
Lost in a labyrinth of thoughts so complex,
I wander through the twists and turns perplexed,
Seeking solace in the depths of my soul,
A place where I can feel whole.
The longing for nirvana consumes me whole,
A thirst for enlightenment that takes its toll,
Yet, I am unable to quench this thirst,
My soul feels as though it will burst.
Oh, the unexplainable feeling within,
The longing to be free from sin,
To find a path that leads to the light,
And escape the endless, dark night.
But still, I wander, lost and alone,
Hoping for a glimmer of hope to be shown,
My heart dipped in the dark desire,
Seeking a light of nirvana to take me higher.
"Rashid Ali Ghazipuri"
