Tell and still it is hidden

Nasir-ol-Molk Mosque, Shiraz, Iran by Rowan Castle

Knowledge of inner experience
many come asking for.
Struck dumb savoring the sweet,
whose mouth will tell the tale?

The sign of the dumb
only the dumb understand.
Likewise the joy of a sage
only a sage knows.

Not of written words
but of experiencing:
When the bride meets His embrace
the guests all fade away.

That which sees cannot speak,
which speaks cannot hear,
that which hears cannot explain.
Why tongue, eyes, ears?

What is full empties out;
What is empty fills up.
Empty, full - neither to be found.
The experience is this.

Such a wonder! It is never told.
Tell, and still it is hidden.
Koran and Vedas couldn't write it.
If I say it, who will listen?

Kabir
