If I Don't Love, I Have Nothing Poem by Matloob Bokhari

IF I DON'T LOVE, I HAVE NOTHING

If I Don't Love, I Have Nothing
If I worship more than arch angel but don't love
I have nothing
If I give all I have to the poor, but don't love
I have nothing
If I have faith which moves mountains, but don't love
I have nothing
If I give gold in alms as big as Ohad but don't love
I have nothing
If I die circumambulating the Kaaba, but don't love
I have nothing
If I die fighting in the holy war, but don't love
I have nothing
If I die and buried in the tomb of prophet but don't love
I have nothing
If I get land larger than Solomon's Kingdom, but don't love
I have nothing
If I receive God's healing power like Christ but don't love
I have nothing
If I am given un paralleled patience like Ayub but don't love
I have nothing
If make sacrifice like Ismael and Hussain but don't love
I have nothing
If I am given the kingdom of whole world, but don't love
I have nothing
No matter what I have done, no matter what will I do
Without wings of love, I cannot soar in the kingdom of God
When my Beloved opened the window of love
I saw the sun kissing the earth out of love
I saw no thorn in the rose garden of love
I saw no chains of life and death
I saw no hunger of heaven, no fear of hell
On the wings of love, my soul soared out of two worlds
There I saw with my eyes
My Beloved is Truth
My Beloved is Light
My Beloved is peace
My Beloved is Love
Infinite Love flows on and on in the river of eternity.

Sara Fielder: I agree, love should be the motivating factor in everything we think, do, and say. The world would be a better place if we all remembered that.

Stephen Montgomery: My favorite line is: all I can sense the cogs turning in this sincere post which has come to an understanding; Love must be everything because love conflicts with nothing
