I Have Again And Again Grown Like Grass. I Have Experienced Quotes

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

Main tere jigar mein to hun
bas teri nazar mein hi nahi..

Though I am in your heart
but still not in your sight..

jad da murshad milya baahu
chutte sab azaabe - hu

Neither is God above the highest heaven
nor is God in the Ka’ba - He!
neither was God found in bookish knowledge
nor is God in the mosque’s niche - He!
(even) on pilgrimage to the Ganges,
the source was not found
(despite) going measureless distances - He!
when the Guide was found by Bahu
over were all the torments - He!

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?

Shukr hai tera khuda
tune jalaalat bakshi
log hase aur
maine tujhe yaad kiya..

Turn away my doctor from me,
and call to me my beloved my desire has increased for Him,
and my love burns brightly I care not whether I pass away,
since it has become my fate.
- Sayyida Nafisa

ਤੇ ‘ਫੱਕਰਾਂ’ ਨੂੰ ਹਰ ਬੰਦੇ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ‘ਰੱਬ’ ਦਿਸੇ..!
