“While for a soul whose faith equals but a tiny grain of mustard seed, He works miracles, in order that his faith which is so weak may be fortified; yet for his intimate friends, for his mother, He did not work miracles until He had put their faith to test.”
Saint Therese of Lisieux wrote these words in Story of a soul, Chapter VI. A Sufi thus expresses his insecurity for the process through which Divinity purposefully subjects a devotee to spiritual trials making his life a legend –
तेरी आशिकी से पहले मुझे कौन जानता था
तेरी बंदगी से पहले न किसी से राबता था
तेरे नाम ने बना दी मेरी ज़िंदगी अफसाना।
मुझे इसका गम नहीं कि बदल गया ज़माना
मेरी ज़िंदगी के मालिक कहीं तुम बदल न जाना।

I had no existence until I got You
My life became alive when I loved You
Anything can change here anytime
O Lord You please always be mine

Having got You O My lord
I care for no other heaven.
People kept condemning me
The soul was uneasy but faced smilingly
You graciously gave me Your devotion
So I care for no other affection.
The distance between us two has reduced
The hindrances have been removed
The time has given me such a solace
That I care for no other benediction.
For ages You had been just an imagination
As the reality now is larger than life
I care for no other authentication.
The original lines written by Swami Akhandanad Giri Ji, Haridwar-
तूं मिला तो मिली ऐसी जन्नत मुझे
अब किसी और जन्नत की परवाह नहीं।
जाने क्या राह में लोग कहते रहे
रूह मचलती रही, हंस के सहते रहे
तेरी रहमत ने दी है जो महौब्बत मुझे
अब किसी और महौब्बत की परवाह नहीं।
मिट गए फासले कम हुईं दूरियां
खत्म होने को हैं सारी मजबूरियां
वक्त ने बक्श दी ऐसी राहत मुझे
अब किसी और राहत की परवाह नहीं।
एक मुद्दत इसी कश्मकश में रही
जिसकी थी आरज़ू बात भी बन गई
ख्वाब लगते हैं सारी हकीकत मुझे
अब किसी और हकीकत की परवाह नहीं।
