...May be the dogs are superior to you...???

Question

You wake up at night to say your prayers
The dogs are awake the whole night through
May be the dogs are superior to you...

The dogs in the night would never stop howling
Sitting on the dung-hill as the do
May be the dogs are superior to you...

Nor would they leave their master's door
Even if they are beaten blue
May be the dogs are superior to you...

"Bullay Shah" its time you took the cue
Lest the dogs prove superior to you
May be the dogs are superior to you...



(I want your views on this Sufi poem by the great Saint "Bullay Shah")

Answer 1

Simply Awesome!
The thing I got is that... no one knows who is loved by the God, if u r praying u can't say that u r beloved to God.. or if someone is making sin, u can't comment that he/she will go to hell....

Thanks for that great poem...

Answer 2

Although the poem is written in a very interesting fashion; I totally disagree with any animal being superior to humans. After all; if they are the superior ones, why haven't they yet master a successful heart surgery; or invented something superior such as a space shuttle?

Answer 3

I like it but I like dogs! My dog died of a liver shunt! Dogs can stay up all night but my dog loved to sleep all night long, he would have bitten some one if they ever hurt him and I probably would have killed them for hurting my dog, and he really did not bark at anyone except my mom! For some odd reason he did not like her! He was a king in my eyes and he is up there in dog heaven!

Answer 4

Dogs can signify those outside the church as well as those within - read the book of Revelation. What good is loyalty if it is the wrong master?
