Poem No. 15
He Came to Know Himself
He came to know Himself
Naught else had He in view
To be able to realize this
He got enmeshed in love
He alighted from high heaven
To pour a cascade of love
Became Mansur to mount the gallows
Just to have His head cut off,
He treaded the bazaars of Egypt,
Just to be sold for a slave
Sachu speaks the bare Truth
To speak of His sojourn on earth.
(Sachal Sarmast)
