1577 The Ráhat

UPON Nirwána’s brink the ráhat stood;

Beneath him rolled the Ocean of the All:

Responsive flowed the current of his blood

To meet the tidal call—

Save one red drop within his mortal veins

Wherein the image of Zuleika shone;

He gazed a moment on Nirwána’s gains—

And Earthward he was gone!
