Translation: “ Suddenly the description of his beautyĬame to the ears of mine, Love entered and at once took away the reason and understanding of mine”.Ģ. “Hadies-e hosn-e u naagaah firo khaandand dar gushamĭar aamad ‘eshq o yakbare be-bord ‘aql az man o husham”. This psychological accident has been described by a poet in the following couplet: His words had no effect at all on the young listener, but when he paid attention in his songs to Baba Farid, Nizamuddin Awliya, felt a great love entering his heart although he had never met Baba Farid. The singer first described the inner qualities of shaykh Bahauddin Zakariya of Multan. A qawwal (a Sufi troubadour) once sang some poetry when visiting Nizamuddin Awliya at a time when Nizamuddin Awliya had not yet been initiated into the Sufi path and had not yet found a shaykh. A person hears of the beauty of a lovely person and a desire rises in him or her to have some sort of contact with this person. The five phases of olfat are distinguished as follows:ġ. It is another name for the inclination of the heart towards the object of love. The first stage of love is olfat (friendship, attachment, familiarity, companionship, intimacy).

I’ve at places added some relevant anecdotes. I’m grateful to the work of Mir Valiuddin in this respect. He not only described ten stages and fifty phases of love, but he also experienced them. As you know steps can be seen leading up to the ocean, but what happens then? The well-known Chishty Sufi Khwaja Nasiruddin Cheragh (the “lamp”) of Delhi, who was the successor of Nizamuddin Awliya has described the indescribable. The pen faces difficulties or even fails when trying to describe love.
