Friend Lyrics by The Dost Quartet

Garden Within the Flames: Songs of the Sufi Path

0

[Poem 1]
Friend, if I told you about a land of love
Would you follow me and come?
In that land are vineyards that yield deadly wine
No glass can hold it
Do you swallow it as a remedy?
The people there must suffer
Would you serve the sweetest drink to others
And take the bitter drink yourself?
There are no moons or suns there
And nothing waxes or wanes
Would you surrender your plans and forget your desires?
Here we're made of water, earth, fire, and air
Is this really what we're made of?
[Poem 2]
Ask those who know:
What's this soul within the flesh?
Reality's own power
What blood fills these veins?
All thought is just an errand boy
And fear, a mind of worries
These sighs are love's clothing
But who is the king upon the throne?
Give thanks for his unity
He created when nothing existed
And since we are actually nothing
What are possessions and houses and shops?
God sent us here to come see the world
The world itself is not everlasting
What are all of Solomon's riches?
Ask Yunus what the world means to him
The world won't last
What are you?
What am I?
