ਔਖੀ ਰਮਜ਼ ਫ਼ਕੀਰੀ ਵਾਲੀ ਚੜ ਸੂਲੀ ਤੇ ਬਹਿਣਾ ਦਰ - ਦਰ ਤੇ Quotes

ਔਖੀ ਰਮਜ਼ ਫ਼ਕੀਰੀ ਵਾਲੀ
ਚੜ ਸੂਲੀ ਤੇ ਬਹਿਣਾ
ਦਰ - ਦਰ ਤੇ ਟੁਕੜੇ ਮੰਗਣੇ
ਮਾਈਏ ਭੈਣੇ ਕਹਿਣਾ ..

Aukhi ramaz fakeeri waali
char sooli te behna
dar-dar te tukde mangne
maaiye bhene kehna ..

Details:
It is difficult to acknowledge, understand and follow vast hidden treasures of knowledge in Guru's teachings. One has to keep aside and sacrifice own intellect, experience, skill, smartness and ego. It is not everybody's cup of tea to beg from door to door calling upon mothers and sisters for alms like a fakir does.

aawaaz aisi ki rooh tak jaaye
nigaah aisi ki khud shanasi ho jaaye
khoobi aisi ki fūrinkazan kho jaaye
karun kaise bayaan jalwa
shakhsiyat aisi ki naa-beyaan hi reh jaaye..

Details:
khud shanasi - self realisation
fūrinkazan - Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain - as swift as wind, as silent as forest, as fierce as fire, as unshakeable as mountain

If not for my sighs, these tears would drown me
If not for these tears, my sighs would scorch me
- Ibn al-Farid

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..

Bhatakte phirte hain kyun
hajj karein yahan aa kar,
yeh Kaba pass hai,
har ek Khalsa ke liye..
- Hakim Allah Yaar Khan Jogi

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

Our body is the Bodhi-tree,
And our mind a mirror bright.
Carefully we wipe them hour by hour,
And let no dust alight.

There is no Bodhi-tree,
Nor stand of a mirror bright.
Since all is void,
Where can the dust alight?
