Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai Rah.
Translation – Labib Mahfuj Chisty
If you want to find Allah
Then stay away from all religious formalities.
Their position is far from all religions
Those who have seen Allah.
If you do not see Allah here-
Then you will never see Him again.
Let us go to a land
Where love flows abundantly
Where there is no entrance, no exit
There everyone sees his Lord.
Those who love their Lord
The world cannot hold them.
The palaces do not attract them
Nor women, nor slaves
Nothing binds them –
They are truly renunciant! They walk the path leaving everything behind.
From the Lord comes his word
An eternal full moon lights up
And darkness disappears.
Then the prayers of all are accepted in the court of the Lord –
Everyone!
Where shall I go?
The Lord Himself encompasses everything –
The Lord, and there is none other than the Lord.
