Every leafy voice of all the night-time grieves,

Every sect has a faith, a direction (Qibla) to which they turn,
I have turned my face towards the crooked cap (of Nizamudin Aulia)
The whole world worships something or the other,
Some look for God in Mecca, while some go to Kashi (Banaras),
So why cant I, Oh wise people, fall into my beloveds feet?
Every sect has a faith, a Qibla.

Al worshippe, wisdam, welthe and worthinesse, All bounte, beawte, ioye and blisfulheed,All honure, vertue, and alle myghtynesse,All grace & thankyng, vnto thin godheede,ffrom whom alle grace & mercy doth procede! Ay praised be thu, lord, in Trinite,And euere honured be thi maieste!

All nature, then, as self-sustained, consists

That is a way, thou whisperest in my ear!
I doubt, I will decide, then act, said I

Birds In Alarm

To bid the shapes of fear and grief depart;
The Last Salute

In a far field, away from England, lies
A boy I friended with a care like love;
All day the wide earth aches, the keen wind cries,

"Nag, come up and dance with death! "
