Words of love

By: Sister Mardhiya

Deep in my soul;
I have a heart filled with love.
The capillaries in it sparkle alight,
the tiny spark of love gradually does ignite.
Its peripherals, are strong enough to endure;
the charming one; for he is so pure.
Every drop of blood that passes through it,
is sanctified by his name, and granted a permit.

Says the mouth with a sheepy voice;
I envy you O heart !!!
I am yet to cleanse myself in order to utter his name;
you on the contrary his faithful servant became.
Says the eye with over flowing a gigantic sea;
I envy you O heart !!!
The layers of curtain I yet ought to remove;
you on the contrary for being his; have been approved.
Says the hand with a wild shake;
I envy you O heart !!!
I touched all; but his cloak,
you on the contrary his name so lovingly invoke.
Says the nose with a gentle murmer;
I envy you O heart !!!
I scented the fragrance of flower, Narcissus;
you on the contrary scented him, the priceless.
Says the ear with a shy tone;
I envy you O heart !!!
I heard all sounds but my beloved's command
you on the contrary engraved his name in your own land.

With a humble tone the heart replied;
Glory be to Him who put his love in me.
O' eye open yourself and try to see!
O' ear open your flabs and try to hear!
O' hand open your fist and seek the whereabouts of the one so dear!
O' nose inhale with a deep ecstasy!
O' mouth sense his elevated supremacy!


I were a worthless lump of flesh; similar to you;
until he called me, and I became anew.
Weep O' eye.
Let your tears speak.
search O' hand.
Donot feel flaccid & weak.
Call him O' mouth.
give your tongue some liberty.
Follow his scent O' nose.
seek him day and nightly.
Hear his suplication O' ear.
be a mild listener.


Knock at his door as much as you can.
He, from his door none has ever banned.
Once shall come a time he will open his gate;
in words of love, with him communicate.
Then he shall place his hand on you,
show you his beautiful face and bless you.
