Chiraag Chaar Hi The Roshni Ke Liye Jo Chiraagon Mein Uljhaa Woh Quotes

Chiraag chaar hi the roshni ke liye
jo chiraagon mein uljhaa
woh roshni bhool gaya..

Tod de tasbeeh ko is khayal se Faraz
kya gin-gin ke naam lena uska, jo be-hisaab deta hai..

Chal Bulleya chal othe chaliye jithe saare anne
na koi saadi zaat pachhaane, na koi saanu manne..
- Baba Bulleh Shah

Wo roop tha ya rang tha
har pal jo mere sang tha
maine poocha tu kaun hai
usne kaha teri nazar..

Mandir bhi tha uska pata, masjid bhi thi uski khabar
bhatke idhar, atke udhar, khola nahi kabhi bus apna hi ghar..

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

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
