Let It Flow, Let It Pass Through You Let Yourself Go Quotes

While trying to keep pace with the world
we forget who we are..

Accumulating knowledge is easy but
knowing is difficult.

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)

The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness.
Only when there is stillness in movement
can the spiritual rhythm appear
which pervades heaven and earth..

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
