मिले ना फूल तो काँटों Quotes

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

Album : Anokhi Raat (1968)

Teri razaa naal raat din chalde ne maalka,
chulhe, chiraag te dive balde ne maalka,
main galat c, galat haan,
kuch theek baksh de,
teri razaa wich rehan di taufeek baksh de..

Jab tak tujh mein itraana or gussa karna baaki hai,
tab tak apne aap ko ahle-ilm mein shaamil mat karna.
- Gause-Aazam

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

Koi aakhda rabb da roop ehnu,
koi rab da ehnu vajeer aakhe,
rabb v ohnu nai mod sakda,
gal mauj vich jehdi fakeer aakhe..

Yes, take my umbrella. don't thank me,
but try to send it back promptly
both spotless and dry.

To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.
- William Blake
