THE SUFI OF NIGHT
Dr.Zainul Husain
The Sufi of night is raptured
In the fathomless depths of austerity.
The dangling waterlillies of stars
Become his garland to glorify his serenity.
The Sufi is lost in a mysterious meditation.
A howling hyena and the cacophony of cicada
All this hustle and bustle of nocturnal animals
Can't distract his spiritual concentration.
After completing this worship of twilight zone,
The Sufi will leave
To come back again
Leaving behind the offering of a sacred sunrise.
