Sohbet of the Week (39 - 24)

Sufi Poems – Mirabai - 6

Mirabai (1498-1546) was an Indian mystic and poetess.

Her very personalized ecstatic songs of love, praise and lamentation have remained alive through the centuries and are still recited and sung by Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims and Christians alike on the Indian subcontinent today.

*             *             *

I am mad with love

 I am mad with love,

and no one understands my plight.

Only the wounded

understand the agonies

of the wounded,

When the fire rages

in my heart. 

*             *             *

Heartily,

Puran
