VIII-V

You say the heart is the Khak and Khoon1,
A work of magic of Kaf and Noon.
2
My heart is though in the bosom of mine,
It is yet beyond the pale of world thine.

2nd Version

In this bosom mine I have a heart though,
Beyond the pale of world, it lies I know’.


1.         Khak and Khoon; mud (dust) and blood.
2.         K and N or Kaf and Nun, are two Arabic alphabets. From K and N, God said “Kun”=”be, become” and the whole cosmos came into being. God says ‘be” (Kun) and it “becomes” automatically a reality.
