For more about the Mughal era Sufi and poet Abdul-Qader Bedil (1644 – 1721 CE) see this earlier post.
At time’s beginning
that beauty
which polished creation’s mirror
caressed every atom
with a hundred thousand suns.
But this glory
was never witnessed.
When the human eye emerged,
only then was he known.
Translation David and Sabrineh Fideler
