Lalleshwari

1320 – 1392 / Pandrethan, Srinagar, Kashmir / India

I Searched For My Self

I searched for my Self
until I grew weary,

but no one, I know now,
reaches the hidden knowledge
by means of effort.

Then, absorbed in "Thou art This,"
I found the place of Wine.

There all the jars are filled,
but no one is left to drink.
