ना ढूंढ मुझे ज़मीं-ओ-आसमां की गर्दिशों में मैं अगर तेरे दिल Quotes

As the bee-injuring not
The flower, its colour, or scent-
Flies away, taking the nectar;
So let the wise man dwell upon the earth. - Gautama, the Buddha

ਟੁੱਟੇ ਪੱਤੇ ਵੀ ਅੰਬਰਾਂ ਚ ਉਡਦੇ ਨੇ
ਜੇ ਰੱਬ ਦੀ ਰਜ਼ਾ ਦੀ ਹਵਾ ਚੱਲੇ ..

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 accumulation of these two:
Virtue & Wisdom
constitutes the soul,
which is the only thing that
Transmigrates.

Details:
Only Buddhas (or tulkus), it is said, can usually remember past lives,
the major exception to the rule that memories do not transmigrate.

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
