Being spellbound by desires and wishes
Fiddled with toys to achieve my wishes
I’m known to every niche of this place
Came countless of times to this place
Why am not inspired to go to any temple
Been misled by any one or a temple?
Ask my restive heart, O jubilant festivity!
Am not here of my will; brought to festivity
It’s still long time for Dooms Day to ensue
It’s vain waking me now for result to ensue?
Wishes worried me in countless of ways
If I’ve secluded in my own relaxing ways
Never was I gripped ever by alcohol
Efforts tried to make me kindle to alcohol
I’ve no taste in worldly leisure, Shad
where I was! But now been brought here
……………..
tamannāoñ meñ uljhāyā gayā huuñ
khilaune de ke bahlāyā gayā huuñ
huuñ is kūche ke har zarre se āgāh
idhar se muddatoñ aayā gayā huuñ
nahīñ uThte qadam kyuuñ jānib-e-dair
kisī masjid meñ bahkāyā gayā huuñ
dil-e-muztar se pūchh ai raunaq-e-bazm
maiñ ḳhud aayā nahīñ laayā gayā huuñ
saverā hai bahut ai shor-e-mahshar
abhī bekār uThvāyā gayā huuñ
satāyā aa ke pahroñ aarzū ne
jo dam bhar aap meñ paayā gayā huuñ
na thā maiñ mo’taqid e.ajāz-e-mai kā
baḌī mushkil se manvāyā gayā huuñ
kujā maiñ aur kujā ai ‘shād’ duniyā
kahāñ se kis jagah laayā gayā huun
The Opening
Posted on: January 8, 2015
The Opening
In the name of Allah, The Infinitely Merciful and Eternally Compassionate.
Praise belongs to God, The Lord of beings.
The infinitely Compassionate.
The Master of the day of the Day of Reckoning.
Thee only we serve.
to Thee only we pray for succor.
Guide us in the straight path.
The path of those whom Thou hast Blessed
Not of those against whom
Thou art wrathful, nor of
those who are astray
This is the finest prayer of all times. In seven short lines the entire span of human existence and experience, individual as well as collective, has been covered. The first two lines give impression to man’s total submission to his Lord and contain his homage to Him. The third is a line which states man’s relationship with God-the Master of Doom’s Day-to Whom he shall be answerable for what he did during his lifetime
Whether man will receive God’s Grace for the good he did or be punished will depend on a comparative evaluation by God of all that he left behind-good and bad
The last three lines are a personal prayer of an individual seeking Divine guidance as well as suppliant of all humankind to God to show it the path of truth, nobility, humility and righteousness; the path of earlier people who trod the path to Divine Grace and Blessing- and keep it away from the path of the people who were evil and who received the wrath of the Lord. Grace includes material comfort, spiritual peace and inner harmony.
blessings for all
