Sometimes Rumi and me

Sometimes I am drunk in the drunkenness of an echoing love song 

Oh Rumi sometimes I do think I  have an insight  into your love wrecked heart

May be it was the blazing embers in the deep  of the earth that lighted your heart 

Or it was the bliss of cool rains from the  heavens that once you relished could never set apart

Or the splendour of celestial light  that moved through the ether into your cells 

Sometimes I drown in the deep waters of flowing thoughts  

The thoughts of how and what Rumi could have found

The secrets of a love which only Rumi could tell 

And the secrets of the same  I wish  to find

Forever

 If I had a heart as light as 

                 the lightest feather 

Would it fly in time to light

                 over there yonder

Away from the nitsy bitsy things

                 of  ego sorrow and error 

And wafting along the tunes

                  of songs to heart closer

Along with the some unsaid words

                   and  unheard whisper

That glowed from far 

                   and  now be found nearer 

My heart would reach

                  to all the love closer

And love would abide in me 

                    forever forever forever 

                

                  

    

                 

Neither the memories of  the past  

Nor the imaginations of the future 

The reality is the simple present to comprehend

 Do you think

 I know what I am doing?

That for one breath or half- breath,

I belong to myself? 

As much as a pen knows what it's writing,

Or the ball can guess where it's going?

                                                                -- RUMI 

 "You are a lover of your own experience ... not of me ... you turn to me to feel ur own emotion"

                                                                - Rumi

 "There are no rules of worship . He will hear the voice of every heart that is sincere"

                                                                      - RUMI

BULLEH SHAH -poem

RAB BANDE DI JAAT IKKO

JYON KAPADE DI JAT HAI ROON

KAPADE VICH JYON ROON HAI LUKAYE

YOON BANDE VICH TOO 

AAP BOLEN 

AAP BULAVE 

AAP KARE HOON HOON 

The lord and thine  follower are just the same 

As same as the caste of cloth is cotton 

The way the body is enclosed in the fabric

So art thou within thy follower  

Thou are the one who speaks

Thou are the one who invites 

And thou it is within me who heeds the call

TU MANE YA NA MANE DILDARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RAB MANEYA

DAS HOR KEDA RAB DA DAWAARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RAB MANEYA 

APNE TAN KI  KHAAK UDAAYIN 

TAB YE ISHQ KI MANZIL PAAYI 

MERI SANSON KA  BOLE IKTAARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RABB MANEYA 

TUJH BIN JEENA BHI KYA JEENA 

TERI CHAUKHAT MERA MADINA 

KAHIN AUR NA SAJDA GANWARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RABB MANE

HASTE HASTE HAR GHAM SEHANA 

RAAZI TERI RAZA MEIN REHNA 

TUNE MUJHE SIHAYA HAI YARA 

ASAN TE TENNU RABB MANEYA
