If you say I reveal my heart’s desire today
To do up and adorn your hair again today
You loved and worshipped me like an deity
Now my love puts you on podium of deity
If anyone tries, will fail to find me and you
You hide me somewhere and I do veil you
Engulfed in my arms you’ll feel relaxed
Your love lets me forget woe and be relaxed
مرے دل میں آج کیا ھے، تو کہے تو میں بتا دوں
تری زلف پھر سنواروں، تری مانگ پھر سجا دوں
مجھے دیوتا بنا کر، تری چاھتوں نے پوجا
مرا پیار کہہ رھا ھے، میں تجھے خدا بنادوں
کوئی ڈھونڈنے بھی آئے، تو ھمیں نہ ڈھونڈھ پائے
مجھے تو کہیں چھپا دے، تجھے میں کہیں چھپا دوں
مرے بازوؤں میں آ کر، ترا درد چین پائے
ترے گیسوؤں میں چھپ کر، میں جہاں کے غم بھلا دوں

Hong-Wu (also known by his given name Zhū Yuánzhāng) was the Emperor of China between 1368 – 1398 CE. He was the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, leading an Army that conquered the country and defeated away the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty.
Despite being a non-Muslim, Hong-Wu ordered the construction of several mosques in Nanjing, Yunnan, Guangdong and Fujian. He rebuilt the Jinjue Mosque in Nanjing and large numbers of Hui (Muslim Chinese) people moved to the city during his rule.
He had around 10 Muslim generals in his army, including Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Ding Dexing, Mu Ying, Feng Sheng and Hu Dahai. In addition, Hong-Wu’s spouse, Empress Ma, descended from a Muslim family while he was originally a member of a Muslim rebel group led by Guo Zhixin.
Emperor Hong-Wu wrote a 100 word eulogy praising Islam, Allah and the Prophet Muhammad which he had placed in the mosques which he ordered to be built.
The eulogy is in the form of a poem, each verse containing 4 words (characters) and 4 syllables. In the translation below I have strayed away from trying to keep the 4 word per verse translation in favour of a more literal translation which conveys the full meaning in flowing English.
The One-Hundred Word Eulogy:
Since the creation of the Universe,
God had decreed to appoint,
This great faith-preaching man,
From the West he was born,
He received the Holy Scripture,
A Book of thirty parts,
To guide all creation,
Master of all Rulers,
Leader of Holy Ones,
With Support from Above,
To Protect His Nation,
With five daily prayers,
Silently hoping for peace,
His heart towards Allah,
Empowering the poor,
Saving them from calamity,
Seeing through the darkness,
Pulling souls and spirits,
Away from all wrongdoings,
A Mercy to the Worlds,
Traversing the ancient majestic path,
Vanquishing away all evil,
His Religion Pure and True,
Muhammad,
The Noble & Great one.

Evening of my gloominess is very light
Someone’s remembrance is my delight
It’s wrong I’m apart from the garden
As flowers are yours and fog my plight
Drops on my lashes are not fresh tears
My eyes have always been wet through
My wish to see every face in high spirits
Never conical; it’s my wish all through
Shared my murky life rarely with myself
Don’t unveil my murky life with myself
Habib Jalib Poetry
Bahut roshan hai shaam-e-ghum humari,
kisi ki yaad hai humdum humari.
Ghalat hai laa-taaluq hain chaman se,
tumhare phool aur shabnam humari.
Ye palkon par naye aansoo nahin hain,
azal se aankh hai purnam humari.
Har ek lab per tabassum dekhne ki,
tamamnna kab hui hai kam humari.
kahi hai hum ne khud se bhi bahut kam,
na poochho daastan-e-ghum humari. !!
Living without my beloved is intolerable
Waiting and fervor to see her is irresistible
Parting of you makes me weep copiously
My heavy heart’s in infinite grief profusely
Depression’s at its peak, I’ shattered in grief
O! God, I beg You! To let meet love fondly
Do ever take a round here also sometime
To see how I’m feeling low without you
Nights spent sighing and days missing you
Punnu Khan decided to leave for Kaich
I appeal him not to go but he’s inflexible
Being so helpless, can’t decide what to do
I’m ready to be his slave and free my aide
Can’t’ breathe without thinking of him
Either I’ll go and meet him or will die
Wounds of broken heart can’t be seen
Either will search for him far and wide
Better to die; Farid I’ve failed to find
سوہنے یار باجھوں میڈی نہیں سردی
تانگھ آوے ودھدی سک آوے چڑھد
کیتا ہجر تیڈے میکوں زارو رارے
دل پارے پارے سر دھارو دھارے
مونجھ وادھو وادھے ڈکھ تارو تارے
رب میلے ماہی بیٹھی دھانہہ کر دی
سوہنا یار ماہی کڈیں پاوے پھیرا
شالا پا کے پھیرا پچھے حال میرا
دل درداں ماری ڈکھاں لایا دیرا
راتیں آہیں بھردی ڈینہاں سولاں سڑدی
پنوں خان میرے کیتی کیچ تیاری
میں منتاں کر دی تروڑی ویندا یاری
کئی نہیں چلدی کیا کیجئے کاری
سٹ باندی بردی تھیساں باندی بر دی
رو رو فریدا فریاد کر ساں
غم باجھ اس دے بیا ساہ نہ بھرساں
تھیسم میلا یا رُلدی مرساں
کہیں لا ڈکھائی دل چوٹ اندر دی
Khawaja Ghulam Farid
Signs of Allah ( God ) in Nails :
Allah, may He be glorified, has created our nails with total perfection. Look at your nails right now and see the signs of Allah in them. If the nails were hard as the bones, then they would damage our skin when we scratch. At the same time, the nails are not so soft that we can’t get rid of the itchy feeling when we scratch. Allah has made the nail in such a way that it doesn’t damage our skin when we scratch and at the same time made it hard enough to get rid of the itchy feeling.
Subhan Allah !
الله کی قدرت کے اشارات ناخن میں ۔
سب تعریفیں الله کے لئیے ہی ہیں جس نے ہمارے ناخنوں کی تخلیق ہماری انسانی ضروریات کو مد نظر رکھتے ہوئے اسکے عین مطابق ہی کی ۔
زرا اپنے ناخنوں کی طرف غور سے دیکھیں تو آپ کو خود الله کی صناکاری اور اس کی حکمت بڑی واضح طور سے نظر آئے گی۔
اگر ناخن سخت ہڈیوں سے بنے ہوئے ہوتے تو خارش کی صورت میں ناخن سے جلد کے چھل جانے کا خدشہ ہوتا ۔
اور اسی طرح اگر یہی ناخن بہت ہی ملائم ہڈی سے تخلیق دئے جاتے تو انسان خارش کے دوران کھجلا نہی پاتا اور اپنی تسلی نہیں کر پاتا ۔
اس لئے الله نے ناخنوں کو اس حکمت سے بنایا کے ایک طرف انسان کی جلد بھی محفوظ رہے اور ساتھ ساتھ انسان اپنی فطری ضرورت کا تسلی بخش مداوہ بھی کر سکے ۔
سبحان الله
My love—–!

My beloved is not unlike your darling…………… she is unbelievably stunning. Seeing her one seems as if heavenly sculptures shaped her. She’s innocent like a dove and dainty but sneakiness and tricky as snake. Proud and pompous like Solomon’s throne. She’s stylish like a white swan. But he’s wild like feral beast. She’s horrifying like black night. She’s less than handful of dust but more of a bowl full of sea surf.
The lady I love is ———life——- she’s stunning—-she’s lovely—- alluring or seductive —-she fascinates everyone with her magical charm. She’s a witch having magical or wonder-working powers that are most often used malignly——-
The wise that are aware of her tricks and nature are not mesmerized by her magnetism keep at bay from her
میری محبوبہ تمہاری اپنی محبوبہ سے کوئی مختلف عورت نہیں ھے۔ وہ بہت خوبصورت ھے۔اور اسے دیکھنے سے ایسا محسوس ھوتا ھے۔ جیسے دیوتاؤں نے اس کے خدوخال اپنے ھاتھوں سے بنائے ھیں۔ وہ فاختہ کی طرح شریف اور ناتواں ھے۔لیکن سانپ کی طرح عیار اور پر فن بھی ہے۔ طاؤس کی طرح متکبر و مغرور ھے۔ بھیڑیے کی طرح خوفناک ھے۔ سفید ھنس کی طرح دلفریب ھے۔ اور سیاہ رات کی طرح ھولناک ھے۔ اس کی ھییتِ طبیعی میں مٹی کا عنصر مٹھی بھر سے زیادہ نہیں۔ لیکن سمندر کی جھاگ اس میں پیالہ بھر ھے۔
جس عورت کو میں نے دل وجان سے چاہا ہے،اس کا نام زندگی ہے۔وہ بہت حسین و جمیل ہے۔اور تمام دلوں کو اپنی طرف کھینچ لیتی ھے۔ وہ ہماری زندگی کو رھن رکھ لیتی ھے۔ اور ہماری آرزؤں کو وعدوں میں دفن کر دیتی ھے۔
زندگی ایک ساحرہ ہے۔ جو حسن و جمال سے ہمیں مسحور کر دیتی ھے۔ لیکن جو شخص اس کی عیاری سے واقف ہے، وہ اس کے سحروں سے دور بھاگے گا۔

Don’t ignore thy humbled,
Posted on: September 12, 2016
zehal-e-miskeeN makun tughafal duraay nainaN banaye battiyaN
kay taab-e-hijran nidaram aay jaan na lay ho kay lagaye chatiyaN
Don’t ignore thy humbled,
Don’t turn thy eyes away
Don’t enlighten with tales
Can’t afford to, being away
Why not hold me to thy bosom
shaban-e-hijraN daraz chooN zulf-e- roz-e-wasalt chooN umr-e-kotaah
sakhi ! piya ko ko mein na dekhon tu kesay katoN andheri ratiyaaN
Lengthy nights without you; Are
As lengthy as maiden’s long hair
Days of being together are short
And they’re as short as one’s life
yaka yak az dill do chashm jado basad fraibam babrd-e-taskeen
kisay pari hay jo ja sunaway piyaray pe ko hamari battiyaaN
Two magical eyes in short span of time
Spellbound my heart within no time
Who bothers now to explain to her!
My anguish, my heart aches to her
choooN shama-e-sozaaN , chooN zarah hairaN , hamesha giryaaN ba ishq aaaN ma
na neend naina, na ang chenaN , naa aaap awein , na bhejein pattiyaN
like dust particle, like an alight candle,
I’ve been forever pleading in love
Sleepless sore eyes and restive me,
Neither she comes nor asks for me
Unique we are; not easily to be found
We’re like the pitiful dreams abound
O! My grief how am to solve vagueness
Is my heart impatient or am I so restless
Gloomy and silent I’m by the seas shore
Ocean’s love enlighten; it’s my resilience
Many people travel, only few get success
Treasure our verve before we’re no more
Flowers have asked the caged birds; Shad
Come to spell, we’re fresh with loveliness
Shad Azeemabadi
Dhoondo Ge Agar Mulkon Mulkon
Milne Ke Nahin Nayaab Hain Hum
Tabeer Hai Jiski Hasrat-0-Gham
Aye Humnafaso Woh Khwaab Hain Hum
Aye Dard Bata Kuch Tu Hi Pata
Ab Tak Yeh Mu’ammya Hal Na Hua
Hum Mein Hain Dil-E-Betaab Nihan
Yah Aap Dil-E-Betaab Hain Hum
Main Hairat-O-Hasrat Ka Maara
Khamosh Khada Hoon Sahil Par
Dariya-E-Mohabbat Kehta Hai
“Aa Kuch Bhi Nahin Payaab Hain Humâ€
Lakhon Hi Musafir Chalte Hain
Manzil pohunchte Hain Do Ik
Aye Ahl-E-Zamana Qadr Karo
Nayaab Na Hon Kamyaab Hain Hum
Murghan-E-Qafas Ko Phoolon Ne
Aye Shaad Ye Kahla Bheja Hai
Aa Jao Jo Tum Ko Aana Ho
Aise Mein Abhi Shadaab Hain Hum
blessings for all
