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.

To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.
- William Blake

Dillo mein pyaar ka chiraag ban,
har rooh ka itminaan ban,
aadmi to tu paida ho hi gaya..
ban sakta hai to khidmat-gaar ban.

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)

You have to grow from the inside out.
None can teach you,
none can make you spiritual.
There is no other teacher but your own soul.
- Swami Vivekananda

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Like smoke I vanish though I burn like flame,
I flicker in the gusts of wrong and right
A shining frailty in the guise of might;
Before a nothing and behind a name.

- W. H. Mdloch
