I cannot
Accumulate
Items
Or money
Tedious, dull
Things
I am a seeker
Searching
For truth
Something
Real
In this world
Of fake
I am a vessel
Housed within
Is my soul
My heart
And also my mind
Trying to align and
Harmonize
I am a novice
Learning
Forgetting
Mistaking
Blundering
And then doing it
All over again
Some days
I am blind
Some days
I see
At times
I am a fool and sometimes
I am wise
I am blind
Drifting...
A novice
In a vessel-
A fool
Seeking
Wisdom

Na Tu Zameen Ke Liye Hai Na Asman Ke Liye
Jahan Hai Tere Liye, Tu Nahin Jahan Ke Liye
(You are neither for the earth nor for the heaven:
The world is for you, and not you for the world.)
Ye Aqal-o-Dil Hain Sharar Shola-e-Mohabbat Ke
Woh Khaar-o-Khs Ke Liye Hai, Ye Neetan Ke Liye
(The sparks Reason and Heart are shed of the flame of Love:
That one to burn the straw, this one for burning the field of reeds.)
Maqam-e-Parwarish-e-Aah-o-Nala Hai Ye Chaman
Na Sair-e-Gul Ke Liye Hai Na Ashiyan Ke Liye
(This garden is for painful strains:
Neither for enjoying the roses nor for making a nest.)
Rahe Ga Ravi-o-Neel-o-Firat Mein Kab Tak
Tera Safina Ke Hai Behar-e-Bekaran Ke Liye!
(How long, while your ship remains in Ravi, Nile and Euphrates?
—When it is meant for the Ocean, which knows no bounds.)
Nishan-e-Rah Dikhate The Jo Sitaron Ko
Taras Gye Hain Kisi Mard-e-Rah Daan Ke Liye
(Once who were beacons to the brightest stars,
Have long been awaiting a guide to show them the way now)
Nigah Buland, Sukhan Dil Nawaz, Jaan Pursouz
Yehi Hai Rakht-e-Safar Mir-e-Karwan Ke Liye
(High ambition, winsome speech, a passionate soul—
This is all the luggage for a leader of the Caravan.)
Zara Si Baat Thi, Andaisha-e-Ajam Ne Isse
Barha Diya Hai Faqat Zaib-e-Dastan Ke Liye
(It was a plain and simple truth but the imagination of the Persian mind
Has confounded it with the poetic license.)
Mere Gulu Mein Hai Ek Naghma Jibreel Ashob
Sanbhal Kar Jise Rakha Hai La-Makan Ke Liye
(I am saving a song for the Place-less Realm—
A song that could shake even the trusty Gabriel.)

Shahnaz! this one is Awesome
'The mind and Heart are the sparks of the flame of Love'
"Ilm o Ishq"
Ilm Ne Mujh Se Kaha Ishq Hai Diwana-Pan
Ishq Ne Mujh Se Kaha Ilm Hai Takhmeen-o-Zan
Knowledge said to me, Love is madness;
Love said to me, Knowledge is calculation—
Band-e-Takhmeen-o-Zan! Kirm-e-Kitabi Na Ban
Ishq Sarapa Huzoor, Ilm Sarapa Hijab!
O slave of calculation, do not be a bookworm!
Love is Presence entire, Knowledge nothing but a Veil.
Ishq Ki Garmi Se Hai Maarka-e-Kainat
Ilm Maqam-e-Sifat, Ishq Tamasha-e-Zaat
The universe is moved by the warmth of Love;
Knowledge deals with the Attributes, Love is a vision of the Essence
Ishq Sukoon-o-Sabat,Ishq Hayat-o-Mamat
Ilm Hai Paida Sawal, Ishq Hai Pinhan Jawab!
Love is peace and permanence, Love is Life and Death:
Knowledge is the rising question, Love is the hidden answer.
Ishq Ke Hain Maujazat Saltanat-o-Faqr-o-Deen
Ishq Ke Adna Ghulam Sahib-e-Taj-o-Nageen
Kingdom, faith and faqr are all miracles of Love;
The crowned kings and lords are base slaves of Love
Ishq Makan-o-Makeen, Ishq Zaman-o-Zameen
Ishq Sarapa Yaqeen, Aur Yaqeen Fatah-e-Bab!
Love is the Space and the Creation, Love is Time and Earth!
Love is conviction entire, and conviction is the key!
Shara-e-Mohabbat Mein Hai Ishrat-e-Manzil Haraam
Shorish-e-Toofan Halal, Lazzat-e-Sahil Haraam
The luxury of destination is forbidden in the religion of Love;
Fighting the storms is permitted, but the comfort of the shore is forbidden
Ishq Pe Bijli Halal, Ishq Pe Hasil Haraam
Ilm Hai Ibn-Ul-Kitab, Ishq Umm-Ul-Kitab!
Lightning is permitted to Love, Harvest is forbidden.
Knowledge is the child of the Book, Love is the mother of the Book.
Allama Muhammad Iqbal

Hi Shahnaz,
I couldn't digest the news about Abdullah and his family as it left me upset and disturbed. The dawn newspapers says that his son died in unfortunate accident in the US. Here is link for your ref.

I pray for his health and may he come out strong from this loss.
Stay blessed!
