submission

So many days have passed. It seems someone has turned me into stone. No feelings. How long would I be able to sustain my sanity? What sanity? There's nothing left in me. Where have those golden days gone when I used to burn constantly in the fire of love? Where have those days gone when I used to think about you all the time, day or night? Where have those beautiful days gone when unrest used to flow in the very veins of my body along with my blood just because I was away from you? Where has that time gone when every breath used to burn my heart with your name? Where have those moments gone when I used to feel you with me all the time? Where have those nights gone when you used to come to my dreams and love me and take me to other world?
Could a mother forsake a child just because the child is dirty, is all in mud? Would a mother not run to pick her child when the child calls out for her, leaving all her work? Would she not pick the child up and bathe him and kiss him all over and feed him the nectar of her breast?
When a child is stranded in the mud, playing in it but occasionally looking up expectantly at his mother, need the child call for her? Do his eyes not say everything?
I'm deprived of everything. I'm in mud. Do you not see me looking up to you expectantly? Do I need to call you out? Does my weeping heart not knock at your heart? Does my wailing heart not shiver you up? Do my tears not melt you? Would you not pick me up?
You must have millions like me but I have none other than you. All my trust is on you. I have come to you forsaking all, would you not accept me? Would you not keep my trust? I'm powerless, I always have been. I submit myself to you. I'm but your puppet, command me as you will. ACCEPT ME!

"Master of Masters! listen to my plaint:
whom else shall I address?
to me there is no other like you;
to you there are millions like me.
Read not my scroll of evil deeds,
shut not your door on this wretched soul.
Had I not been steeped in sin, says Bahu,
on whom would you have showered your mercy?"
-HAZRAT SULTAN BAHU.
