I chose Mian Mir as my Murid
Amongst the Aurangzebs,Shujas and Murads
I chose to be the lone Dara Shukoh
Amongst the Swords and muskets of steel
I chose the ancient knowledge present in the scriptures
When everyone inscribed your name in Arabic
I chose to wear a ring with "Prabhu" inscribed on it
Amongst the many believers
I chose to be the Heretic
Amongst those counting rosary beads
I chose to seek the beloved through knowledge
Amongst the many who chose conversion and prosecution
I chose peace and unification
Amongst the many who read prayers with hatred inside
I chose to read the Upanishads and let them in my heart reside
Amongst the many who ran aground on the rocky shores of Ego
I chose to drown where 2 great oceans merged!
-- Dedicated to a great human being and a true man of God - Dara Shukah
