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’.

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.
