saw that these four heavenly books are based on these eight
fundamentals. Those who follow these fundamentals and establish
a life style based on them will have adapted themselves to these
four books and performed their commandments.”
Murshid-i-kamil
In appearance, he seems to need being served;
Innerly, though, he pays himmat to those who deserved.
It will sure be misleading to judge by appearance;
Receiving the himmat requires seeing the essence.
Haqq ta’âlâ has His beloved ones concealed;
Their inner with appearance He covered.
Their appearance is the Sharî’at’s mirror;
Haqq’s Attentions will be reflected in their inner.
The lover will get from afflictions such pleasure
As will not be in anything, be itself pleasure.
People unaware will not believe this; yet,
In Qur’ân Haqq ta’âlâ says so by âyat.
If a person attends a Walî’s luminous sohbat,
His heart will open, nûrs will his inner illuminate.
Desires of the nafs will no more titilate him;
Secrets of this way will at once open before him.
Adhere to the Sharî’at, then search for a Murshîd!
Cannot find one? Then love is enough if you are candid!
Those who have attained these two blessings,
Will receive fayz from the heart of Murshid’s.
Haloes gushing out from the Messenger’s heart,
Will flow into them due to loving regard.
