Surrender to Win : Sufi Sekh Farid

if you are smart be simple
if you are strong be kind
if you are rich be humble
great is a human being who lives like this
-
in a vast lake surrounded by traps
and a huge storm approaching
a little bird says to herself
o flight, you are my only hope
-
while a virgin she was full of desires
after her wedding she became full of problems
now she roams her garden
dreaming of being virgin
-
have you been to the holy gate
and observed the hourbell’s fate
if such an innocent one is so beaten
what is in store for us
-
in the hearts of the surrendered
patience blooms like spring
they walk in intimacy with God
and nobody has a clue
