Jab Ki Tujh Bin Nahi Koi Maujuud, Phir Ye Hungaamaa, Ae Quotes

Jab ki tujh bin nahi koi maujuud,
phir ye hungaamaa, ae khudaa kya hai..
- Mirza Ghalib

Madness in art is Creation.
Madness in poetry is Wisdom.
Madness in the search for God
is the highest form of Worship.

Ulfat ke yeh jalwe, kabhi dekhe nahi humne,
haan dekhna ek baat, sune bhi nahi humne..
- Hakim Allah Yaar Khan Jogi

In the art of describing his beauty, time itself expires
and yet still there remains in him, what has not been described..
- Ibn al-Farid

Insaan aur bakre di fitrat iko jehi hai,
dovein marne tak main-main karno nahi hatde..

I have again and again grown like grass.
I have experienced seven hundred and seventy moulds.
I died from minerality and become vegetable;
…And from vegetative-ness I died and become animal.
I died from animality and became man.

Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die,
Bring forth wings and feathers like angels.
After that soaring higher than angels-
What you cannot imagine,
I shall be that. - Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

The quieter you become,
the more you can hear.
