The Story Of Swami Rama - Holybook

The Story Of Swami Rama
Stands in the sun, and with no partial gaze,
Views all creation; and he loves it all
And blesses it, and calls it very good.
— Coleridge
In the last issue of "Aliph" we find his attempt to
introduce the style of free verse into Urdu, and one
finds him following Whitman even in the title of
his poems. For example, he begins the book with a
long poem To You. And he says:
You are my Krishna, my Rama.
I see you, if I wish to see God,
I see you, and you are God,
Away with these veils of you and me,
Away these attires of colours and forms and
names,
Away with these hopes and despairs,
When I strip you of all your coverings,
I see, if I wish to see God, I see, and you are God.
Another poem is Old Age.
