ਖੁਸ਼ ਹੂੰ ਤੇਰੀ ਰਜ਼ਾ ਮੇਂ

A man was walking on a shaking bridge.
He prayed for help and then
saw God on the other side of the bridge.
He asked God to come near but
God didn't come.
Man got angry.
With great difficulty he crossed to the other side
and saw God holding the broken bridge.
Trust Him! His ways are amazing..

हूँ बुलंद आज तो तेरी मेहेरबानी है
हूँ शुमार तेरी महफ़िल में
तो यह भी तेरी ही ज़रा-नवाजी है

भटकना आसां था मेरी फितरत के सजदे
जला कर कुंदन जो किया तूने
तो यह तेरी रहमत है

गुलामी ऐसी दे की सर जिस्म से जुदा रहे
इसका वज़न मशीनों से आता नहीं
मैंने की कोशिश तेरे दर पर आके अलविदा कहु
तारों भरा आसमां दिया यह तेरी बंदा-परवरी है..

I know that you have sent me here
for something good
but I falter..not occassionally,
but frequently.
That's what makes me human
and then I look to you
and that's what makes you God .
Rest there's no difference.
We are same..

He acts without contact,
instructs without meeting,
guides without pointing.
Desires do not conflict with Him,
thoughts do not mingle with Him:
His essence is without qualification (takyeef),
His action without effort (takleef).
