O Lord, fill Muslim’s heart
with desire ardent,
that stirs his heart and
make his soul fervent;
Illumine each speck of dust
in valley of Faran,
Let us yearn for and urge
worth valley of Faran;
Let mislead envision the
entire insight,
Let others too envision
what I do sight;
Let the right way to the
attached to city, deer,
Lead to desert vastness
over to the lost deer;
Stir up and trigger the bleak
heart fervent,
Let the vacant hearts liven
up to be ardent;
In this era of unrest when,
each heart’s uneasy,
Lighten hearts’ sore with
Thy glorious mercy;
Make our goals possible to
reach beyond stars,
Give us patience of shore
and vastness of sea;
Let love be selfless,
Truth valiant and pure;
Light up us making our
hearts kind and pure;
Let us envision
catastrophe ahead of time,
Enable us to realize way
out ahead of time;
Me a sad nightingale of a
crushed garden,
In today’s anguish let us
bear and sustain;
Ya Rab! Dil-e-Muslim Ko Woh Zinda Tamana De
Jo Qalb Ko Garma De, Jo Rooh Ko Tarpa De
Phir Wadi-e-Faran Ke Har Zarre Ko Chamka De
Phir Shauq-e-Tamasha De, Phir Zauq-e-Taqaza
Mehroom-e-Tamasha Ko Phir Dida-e-Beena De
Dekha Hai Jo Kuch Mein Ne Auron Ko Bhi Dikhla De
Phir Wadi-e-Faran Ke Har Zarre Ko Chamka De
Phir Shauq-e-Tamasha De, Phir Zauq-e-Taqaza
Mehroom-e-Tamasha Ko Phir Dida-e-Beena De
Dekha Hai Jo Kuch Mein Ne Auron Ko Bhi Dikhla De
Bhatke Huway Aahu Ko Phir Soo’ay Haram Le Chal
Iss Sheher Ke Khugar Ko Phir Wusaat-e-Sehra De
Paida Dil-e-Weeran Mein Phir Shaurish-e-Mehshar Kar
Iss Mehmil-e-Khali Ko Phir Shahid-e-Laila De
Iss Dour Ki Zulmat Mein Har Qalb-e-Preshan Ko
Woh Dagh-e-Mohabbat De Jo Chand Ko Sharma De
Riffat Mein Maqasid Ko Humdosh-e-Surraya Kar
Khuddari-e-Sahil De, Azadi-e-Darya De
Be Lous Mohabbat Ho, Bebak Sadaqat Ho
Seenon Mein Ujala Kar, Dil Soorat-e-Meena De
Ehsas Anayat Kar Asaar-e-Mosibat Ka
Amroz Ki Shuarish Mein Andesha-e-Farda De
Main Bulbul-e-Nalan Hun Ek Ujre Gulistan Ka
Taseer Ka Saa’il Hun, Mauhtaj Ko, Data De!

I’m lost in thy love

I’m lost in thy love so no matter what comes up
Given up life’s delight, no matter what comes up
O’ Healer, better not lay a hand on a patient like me
Leave me to God; let Him deal, whatever happens
Set aside the books, link with the axis of divine love
Drank divine Bliss Wine matters not what happens
The fire of love burnt all worldly name and status
No self-worth is left, so no matter what comes up
When complained of parting and not being there
Smiled truthfully said; “matters not what happens”
Stayed in trance of life’s oasis for a night long only
With the new dawn, moved ahead, matters not now
Having no concern of what is fine or awful, Niyaz
Anyone who met you; cares not, what may happen
………………………………………………
Poet: Hazrat Shah Niyaz Ahmed (R.A.)(1742 – 1834)
Ishq mein tere kohe gham, sar pe liya jo ho so ho
Aish’o nishaat’e zindagi, chhord diya jo ho so ho
Mujh se mareez ko tabiib, haath too apna mat lagaa
Isko khuda pe chord de, bahr’e khuda jo ho so ho
Aql ke madrasee se uthh, ishq ke maikade mein aa
Jaam’e fanaa’o bekhudi, ab to piya jo ho so ho
Laag ki aag lagte hi panba namad ye jal gaya
Rakhte vujood-e-jaan-otan kuchh na bacha jo ho so ho
Hijr ki jo museebatein, arz kiin uske rubaru
Naaz’o adaa se muskura, kehne lagaa jo ho so ho
Hasti ke is saraab mein, raat ki raat bas rahe
Subh’e adam huaa numoo, paaon uthha jo ho so ho
Duniya ke nek’o bad se kaam, humko niyaz kuch nahin
Aap se jo guzar gaya, ussey kia jo ho so ho

Praise is to Allah. We bear witness that there is only one God who has no partners beside Him, and we bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
Praise is to Allah who blessed us with the guidance of His prophets and messengers. Praise is to Allah whose Mercy encompasses everything. Praise is to Allah who knows our needs and answers our calls and brings peace to our hearts.
Praise is to Allah who breathed into us of His Spirit and placed the light of His guidance in our inmost being. Whomever Allah guides, no one can misguide, and whomever Allah misguides, no one can guide. We put our trust in Allah and seek His forgiveness, aid, and support.
A man once came to the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and asked him about the hereafter. The Prophet asked him, “And what have you prepared for that time?” The man replied, “Nothing, except that I love Allah and I love you.” The Prophet (p.b.u.h) answered him, “You are with the ones you love.”
Dear friends the guidance of Islam is the guidance of love. The innate, natural and ancient religion that is Islam is the religion of love. The Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) came to guide us to love and to make clear the love that is at the core of all religions. Our purpose as human beings is to consciously manifest Allah’s love in our lives. This is the most significant meaning that can bring purpose to us and transform our lives. When we reflect upon the history of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and the spread of his message we will realize that Islam could not have taken root in the world without the love that filled the heart of the Prophet and was clearly manifest in his way of relating and interacting with people that brought out their own deep and profound love for him. Without this mutual and abiding love, none of us would be here today. Without this love Islam would not have been possible.
Today, it seems that we too often hear and read much that is harsh and heartless about Islam and not enough that is loving and beautiful. There seems to be too many messages of prejudice, literalism, legalism, violence, and oppression. The superficiality, ugliness and darkness that are too prevalent in today’s Islamic discourse are nothing like what the Prophet brought us.
I would like to share with you part of the first sermon ever given by the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) in Medina. This is what he had to say to his companions,
Love that which Allah loves! Love Allah with all your hearts! Grow not weary of hearing the Word of Allah. Do not stop remembering Him. Do not let your hearts grow hard toward Him. For verily, Allah has preferred His Book above all of Creation
Indeed, Allah has endowed it with guidance to the best of deeds, and made it an example for the elect of His servants, and filled it with righteous discourse, and has made clear in it what is lawful and unlawful for you.
So, serve Allah alone, and associate with Him no other. Be ever conscious of Him. Be truthful to Allah in what you utter from your mouths. Let the Spirit of Allah be the source of love between you. Amen
blessings for all
