Meem
The spiritual guide ensconces miles away yet mirrored nearby
Physically apart…it doesn’t make any difference. He’s in my heart
Indeed, they proceed forward…who found Ism-e-Allah Zaat
O Bahoo, its unveiled, “We are nearer…” untangling all deceptions
Explanation by Sultan ul Ashiqeen
Though apparently my spiritual guide dwells many miles away, yet I see him around me all the time because his abode is my inward. Those who reached the core of Ism-e-Allah Zaat proceed with valour in Faqr and those who uncovered the secret of, “We are nearer to him than his jugular vein,” indeed have recognized Allah and have dismissed all the discords of this temporal world.
