In The Art Of Describing His Beauty, Time Itself Expires And Quotes

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

Turn away my doctor from me,
and call to me my beloved my desire has increased for Him,
and my love burns brightly I care not whether I pass away,
since it has become my fate.

and then inhabits it.
It is the creator, the actor, and the outcome.
It is the force that weaves the whole process together..

Na ajeez jaan jaan tu
jisne banaya jahaan
kar uski pehchaan tu..

ना ढूंढ मुझे ज़मीं-ओ-आसमां की गर्दिशों में
मैं अगर तेरे दिल में नहीं तो कहीं भी नहीं ..

मिले ना फूल तो काँटों से दोस्ती कर ली
इसी तरह से बसर हमने ज़िन्दगी कर ली

अब आगे जो भी हो अंजाम देखा जाएगा
खुदा तराश लिया और बंदगी कर ली

नज़र मिली भी न थी और उनको देख लिया
ज़ुबान खुली भी न थी और बात भी कर ली

वोह जिनको प्यार है चांदी से , इश्क़ सोने से
वही कहेंगे कभी हमने खुदकुशी कर ली

- अनोखी रात (1968)


Mile na phool to kanton se dosti kar li
Isi tarah se basar humne zindagi kar li

Ab aage jo bhi ho anjam dekha jaayega
Khuda tarash liya aur bandagi kar li

Nazar mili bhi na thi aur unko dekh liya
Zuban khuli bhi na thi aur baat bhi kar li

Woh jinko pyaar hai chaandi se, ishq sone se
Wohi kahenge kabhi humne kudkushi kar li
