Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke


Yeah, I could turn out to be that–

Belonging neither to God

Nor to Caesar, God rest his soul;

I who resist any method, any path

As if I do not want to close my eyes

Even for a second even if it be

To see the Truth that I’ve always longed for

What is that Truth that exists

Unseen, nay unseeable, by my eyes

How can its reach not extend

Into the field of the vision of my mortal eyes

What Truth is that that has to hide

Somewhere far away from this world

Hide somewhere far away from me

Those in the know say that’s the way it is

(Or say that in some elliptical way)

I say I am not in the know so I do not know

If what they say be true, and besides

Who’s to say there are not infinite paths

To that Truth that is itself infinite

That which is everywhere, what path can be there

And if one does travel a path, be it any path,

Do not all the paths take you there, when

It’s everywhere; think, my dear, think.
