FARD (INDIVIDUAL
COUPLET) When one or two persons sit on earth even for a
moment for the Zikr of God, [Then] the sky bows before earth in homage. Hence,
it is desired that the blood of Hama-Ost should circulate throughout the
entire soul, veins and flesh! [And condition is this that there should not last
the cover of duality in between. Allah This
Faqeer Bahu
Hazrat Muhammad Listen [carefully] [O Seeker!] One
day Hazrat Ba Yazeed Bastami Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe is sufficient; everything other than
Allah
is just
lust (and greed)!]
Rahmatu-Allahe
Ta-aala Alaihe
says
that every that person, who desires Lord and Didaar, he should choose
(and follow) Faqar. In the event thereof, he should attain unto the Marifat
of Lord
through
exercising Zikr , Fikr and Ishq
and Muhabbat
. On
the other hand he, who desires the Garden and Houries and Palaces,
should observe worship and Riyazat , Devoutness and Pietism,
Assalaat (Prayers) and Fasting, recitation of the Holy Quran and Hajj
(Muslim Pilgrimage), Zakaat and follow the entire Pillars of
Islam. And he, who likes the Fire of Hell, should choose sensual
pleasures and desires of beasts and devilish sins and should open
his mouth (to speak without thinking) and eat whatever comes before him
(without seeing). He should not make division between Halaal (licit) and
Haraam
(Illicit) and should keep sincerity with Kuffaar and heathens
(and fornicators). This person is the hypocrite and lecher.

He will be of that nation for that he has love. [That is, man gets return according
to his intention]
was sharing secrets
with Almighty Haq
[and things of secrecy were being shared]
so much so that a voice reached from the Sanctuary (Court) of His
Majesty that O Ba Yazeed! How great effort, travail, Mujahida
and Riyazat you are undertaking! Do you want the Station of Arsh?
Ba Yazeed Bastami
Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe
respectfully replied
that "O Lord
!
Arsh is the place of Spirits and I am not Roohani . Again,
a voice came, "O Ba Yazeed! Perhaps you want the Station of Kursi?
Ba Yazeed Bastami
Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe
respectfully replied
that "O Lord
!
Kursi is place for Karoobiyan (cherubs) and I am not cherub.
Call came again, "O Ba Yazeed! Perhaps you want the sky then.
