Zindagii se baDii sazaa hii nahiin / No chastisement is harder than Life

zindagii se baDii sazaa hii nahiin
aur kyaa jurm hai pataa hii nahiin

itane hisson men baT gayaa huuN main
mere hisse men kuchh bachaa hii nahiin

jaD do chaaNdii men chaahe sone men
aaiinaa jhuuTh bolataa hii nahiin

---------------------------------------------------
No chastisement is harder than Life
Don't know what's my crime

Been split into million parts
Don't have nothing of mine left

Golden frame or silver, around it
Mirror, still, doesn't tell a lie.


---- Krishan Bihari Noor [translated by Toufeeq]

Seeking life beyond

Seeking life beyond
For thirsty soul
One drop of mercy
One foot of paradise
Far away, above seven skies
Seeking life beyond
O' Allah awaken us.

I wanna feel

I wanna feel that sweet pain
She’s gone for a moment and I
Miss her like years years and on

I wanna feel that heartbeat
On my chest , like two hearts
Competing in a marathon

I wanna feel that tender hands
On my palms, makes Chicago winter
Look so warm

I wanna feel that oneness,
So beautifully she can say
All my thoughts

I wanna feel that moment
Hurt she gets slightly, and tears
Roll down my eyes

I wanna feel that smile
On her face, makes this messy world
A place worth to live

I wanna feel that calmness
In her eyes, makes this confusion around
Look like a silent calm lake

Don't sleep now

Don't sleep now. Let the turning
night wheel through this circle.

Your brow, the moon, this
lantern we sit with.

Stay awake with these
lights. Don't sleep.
------------------

The way of love is not
a subtle argument.

The door there
is devastation.

Birds make great sky-circles
of their freedom.
How do they learn it?

They fall, and falling,
they're given wings.

-- Rumi

InshaAllah, I will post one of my poems, As soon as I feel one. Life is not poetic these days, it is lazily worrisome and boringly testing patience. InshaAllah my breath and breeze around me will soon rhyme again.

You came down from your throne

You came down from your throne and stood at my cottage door.

I was singing all alone in a corner, and the melody caught your ear. You came down and stood at my cottage door.

Masters are many in your hall, and songs are sung there at all hours. But the simple carol of this novice struck at your love.

One plaintive little strain mingled with the great music of the world, and with a flower for a prize you came down and stopped at my cottage door.

-- Rabindranath Tagore [from Gitanjali, which got him nobel prize]

Miltii Hai Zi.Ndagii Me.N

Milttii Hai Zi.Ndagii Me.N Mohabbat Kabhii\-Kabhii
Hotii Hai Dilbaro.N Kii Inaayat Kabhii\-Kabhii

Sharmaa Ke Mu.Nh Na Pher Nazar Ke Savaal Par
Laatii Hai Aise Mo.D Par Qismat Kabhii\-Kabhii

Khulate Nahii.N Hai.N Roz Dariche Bahaar Ke

Tanahaa Na Kat Sake.Nge Javaanii Ke Raaste
Pesh Aa_Egii Kisiikii Zaruurat Kabhii\-Kabhii

Phir Kho Na Jaae.N Ham Kahii.N Duniyaa Kii Bhii.D Me.N
Milatii Hai Paas Aane Kii Muhalat Kabhii\-Kabhii

Hotii Hai Dilbaro.N Kii Inaayat Kabhii\-Kabhii
Milatii Hai Zi.Ndagii Me.N Mohabbat Kabhii Kabhii ...
