Abdol-Qāder Gīlāni "The house of healing"

Abdol-Qāder Gīlāni - The House Of Healing

Until eternity, oh Lord, in Your Favours I have hope
If I lose hope in You, from where could I ever gain hope?

Much of my life I lived in defiance: See me not defiant
I have been unfaithful, but in Your Faithfulness I have hope

I am a pauper and a stranger, helpless, ailing and weak
In one cup's medicine of the House of Healing, I have hope 

I know that in the end Your Way is Forgiveness
Because of that, in Your Endless Mercy I have hope

Everyone places their hope in God, yet in others too
But for a lifetime I seek [only] You, and in You [alone] I have hope

You saw all I have done, yet You concealed with Graciousness
And You know well why I have hope in You

As, bit by bit, the grave's soil takes me apart
With every bit, in God's Grace I have hope

Repeatedly, I spoke and acted badly and remained the same
Despite of these transgressions, in Forgiveness I have hope

The light of my eyes has weakened from my tears, oh beloved
Now, from Your Place's Healing Kohl, I have hope

My Beloved has spilt my blood, Mohyi says 
After this killing, in His Favours I have hope

Per me la poesia è un atto performativo, oltre che squisitamente letterario. William S. Burroughs diceva che l’importante nell’arte è far si che accada, anche quando in solitudine aggiungerei. Viviamo un tempo di saturazione percettiva e di de...

We live in a time of perceptual saturation and induced desires: images a...
