The Knowledge that doesn't steal you from yourself, is worst than ignorance




Ascend from materiality into the world of spirits, hearken to the loud voice of the universe;
Then thou wilt know that God is glorified by all inanimate things: the doubt raised by false interpreters will not be beguile thee. 


Conventional Knowledge is death,
to our souls, and it is not really ours.!!!


I said:what about my eyes?
God said: keep them on the road.
I said: what about my passion?
God said: keep it burning.
I said: what about my heart?
God said: Tell me what you hold inside.
I said: Pain and sorrow.
God said: Stay with it...Wound is the place where light enters!!!


I've been a seeker and I still am,
but I stopped asking the books
and the stars.
I started listening to
the teachings of my soul!!!

Build a new Dawn, a new Eve, a new Time



Since from early days of my education, I was always interested in observing different phenomena’s, attitudes of people, events getting happened in life and drew conclusion at the end of the day with my best understanding. Honestly speaking, every time I found a big contradiction between the institutional & religious lessons and our practically followed code of conduct. It openly delineates reality of our “action” and strongly made big “statements”.
“Azan yet sounds, but never now Like Bilal’s, soulfully;
Philosophy, conviction-less, Now mourns its Ghazzali,
Allama Iqbal (Bang-e-Dra-120) Jawab-e-Shikwa

Whenever I attend seminars of social awareness, peace walks, watch useless discussion on searing issues, it always put me in a thought do we need some more lessons when a complete religion is there? Do we need some mentors to let us realize??? When everything is present and defined then what we are waiting for??? Are we incompetent to accept or we doesn't want to have it in our lives??? Where is the practical implementation of our knowledge?? Seriously are we following a right path??

 The preacher’s sermon may beguile your heart,
But there is no sincerity, no warmth in it.
The Muslim, zealous though about God’s unity,
Still wears the Hindu’s sacred thread around his heart.
Gone out is the fire of love. O how sad!
The Muslim is a heap of ashes, nothing more.
Allama Iqbal (Bal-e-Jibril-142) Saqi Nama

The faults are within us, nothing is bad outside, the problem is that we all consider ourselves as "innocents" we have answers for every question, we have put GOD's earth burning and now we are shouting when flames have reached to our doors. This is our dilemma we don’t want to learn from our mistakes. 
We are becoming such a nation who lacks its social status, cultural & traditional values and historical manifestation among the nations of world. We have forgotten our identity, our lessons and pieces of advises f great mentors.

“Three centuries India’s wineshops have been closed,
And now for your largess we pine, oh Saki;!”
Allama Iqbal (Bal-e-Jibril-010)

 Alas! Our present educational system is impotent to meet the requirements of modern concerns, Institutions have failed to breed a nation of character and useful citizen, and chapters of inter-religion harmony, brother hood, patience, tolerance and peace have been ignored scathingly.

Molana Rumi said it in one of his poem,

“You were born with potential. 
You were born with goodness and trust. 
You were born with ideals and dreams.
 You were born with greatness. 
You were born with wings. 
You are not meant for crawling, 
so don't You have wings. 
Learn to use them and fly.”


At another place he addresses, “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”


Allama M. Iqbal wrote same message in his poem “To Javid”

“Build in love’s empire your hearth and your home;
Build Time a new, a new dawn, a new eve!
Your speech, if God give you the friendship of Nature,
From the rose and tulip’s long silence weave.
No gifts of the Franks’ clever glassbowers ask!
From India’s own clay mould your cup and your flask.
The way of the hermit, not fortune, is mine;
Sell not your soul! In a beggar’s rags shine.

It’s time to realize the worth of being our self, to find out right path, our destination and most importantly our “own self”. To raise our moral character, ethical standards and prove the world that we’re worthy, we are Human’s beyond any discrimination and are Caliph of God on earth.

Let’s write our will across the sky, in stars.
Keep on knocking the door of truth, one day it would be open for us.

Continued…..!

I will not speak of the earthly, I am of the unknown.



[Zindagi hamen buht baar mawekay deti hai k hum apne apko janany ke koshish kren. hum apne apko kitna janty han.? or ham apni asal hakikat se kitna wakif han?? baja tor par hum insano ko he gor o fikar he dawat degayi hai. apny feham or smj k hisab se kuch baten tehreer mn ayin.  Wal'llah fi ilam]  


IQBAL ne kaha tha:
“mehroom-e-tamsha ko phir deeda-e-bina dy….
         dekh hay jo kuch mene ouron ko be dikla dy…..”

Hadis-E-Qudsee hay:
“mein aik chupa howa khazana tha. Mein na chaha k mein pehchana jaown. Pas mein nay muhabbat k sath tamam almeen or makhlookat ko takhleek kiya.”

ALLAH nay jab qainat ko takhleek farmaiya tu kaha “kun” (ho ja) or vo ho gaye. Kainat jab ban gaye tu usay sirf apny wajood ka ilam tha. Kainat k afrad ya nahe janty thy k vo kon hain? Kun hain? Or un ke takhleek karny vali hastee kon hay……?
Is raaz ko ashkar karny k liay ALLAH khud kainat k samny a gay. Or kaha k mein tumara RAB hun……!
kainat nay is awaz ko sun kar ALLAH ke taraf nigah uthai or  ALLAH TALA ko dekh kar uske rabobiat ka ikrar kiya.
yahan samjhne ke baat ya hay k insan ko sub sy pehly nigah muntakil howe…yani insan nigah k elawa kuch nae hay.
Is baat ko “Molana Rumi” nay is tara farmiya:
“Admi Deed Ast, Baqi Post Ast…
 Deed Aan Bashad Ke Deed-e-Dost Ast…”
Translation: Man is perception; the rest is skin; Perception is the perception of God.
(admi nigah hay.. us k elawa baki sub fiction hay..or nigah ya hay k admi is baat sy vakif hay k mein makhlook hun or mera banany vala ALLAH)

Dr. Allama Iqbal nay Molana ke is baat ka jawab is tara diya k:
“khird k pass khabar k siwa kuch or nahe…..
   tera elaj nazar k siwa kuch or nahe……
Nigah ke be do tarzen hain. Aik zahir or dosri batin. Zahir ke nigah ya hay k hamari zindagi mn jo kuch ho raha hay hum usy dekh rahy han…maslan hum t.v dekhty han, kitab party han, is dunia mn majood har cheez ko dekhty han uske ranginion ko mehsoos karty han…ya sub hamara shaour hay….
jab k batin ke nigah la shaour ko dekhna hay. Un cheezon ko dekhana jo chupi howe hain…jesy k uper hadees-e-qudsee mn is cheez ke wazahat ho chuki hay…




(Surah Al-An’am :103,104) ALLAH irshad farmata hay:
ankhen uska ahata nahi kartin, or sub nigahen usk ahaty mn hain. Or vohi hai niyat batin pura khabrdaar. Tumary pass ankhen kholnynwali daleelen ayin apny Rab ke taraf se tu jisne dekha apny bhalo ko or jo andha howa tu apny buray ko or mn tum par nighaban nahi”….
[Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted. There have come to you the eye Opener arguments from your Lord, then whosoever saw it, then it is for his own good and whosoever became blind, then it is for his own bad and I am not a guardian over you.]

Insan ke zahiri ankhen ALLAH ke hakikat tak nahi pohanch saktin yani dunia ke ankh sy koi ALLAH ko nahi dekh sakta….ta ham ya sahi or kafi rivayiat sy sabit hota hay k kiyamat k din ehl-e-iman apni batni nigah sy ALLAH ko dekhen gay or jannat mn be didar karen gay..Is liay ya kehna k ALLAH ko koi be nahi dekh sakta , na dunia mn na akhrat mn, sahi nae hay.

(Surah Al-Waqi’a 83-85)
“pas jab rouh narkhay tak puhanch jati hai…or  tum us wakt  dekhty ho. Hum us (marny valy) shaks sy buht ziada kareeb hoty han…lekin tum dekh nahi sakty……”
[Why then it was not when the soul reaches to the throat. And you are at that time looking on. And We are near to it than you, but you have no sight.]

Hum kia dekhty han! Insan sirf 400 sy 700 nino meter wavelength rakhny vali radiations ko dekh sakta hay…jo is dunia mn majood radiations ka sirf 1.5 hay.
Buht sari ayyat mn ALLAH nay ankh valon(batni nigah valon) ko kudrat ke nishanian dekhnay or un par gor-o-fikar karny ke talkeen ke hay..

(Surah Al-Mulk 3-4):
jis na saat asman banay ek k upar dosra. tu  Rehman ke banany mnkya farak dekhta hai ,nigah utha kar deakh tujhy koi  shigaf be nazar a raha hay?. Phir dobar nigah utha k dekh lay….teri nigah nakam ho kar thaki howe lout ay ge…”
[Who made seven heavens one upon the other. What difference do you see in the making of the Most Affectionate? Then look again carefully, do you see any crack? Then look again and again, the sight will return back to you defeated and fatigued.]

(Surah Al-Hajj -46)
 “kiya unhon nay zameen mein sair-o-siahat nahi ke…. jo in k dil in baton k samjnay valy hoty ya kano sy he in(vakiyat) ko sun lety, baat ya hay k sirf ankhen he andhi nahi hotin bal k dil be andhy hoty han jo seeno mn han….”
[Have they not traveled in the land that they should have hearts with which to understand, or ears with which to hear? Certainly, it is not the eyes that are blind, but blind the hearts, which are in the breasts].
(Surah An-Noor 43-44):
“kiya apne nahi dekha k ALLAH TALA badlon ko chalata hay, phir unhen milata hay..phir unhen teh ba teh kar deta hay, phir tu dekhty  un k darmiyan se meena barasta hay…vohe asmano ke janib oulon k pahar mn se baraf barsata hay  jis py chahy or pheer deta hai jis se chahykareeb hai k iske bijli ke camak ankh lay jay. . ALLAH  he din or raat ko rado badal karta hay, ankhon valon k liay is mn yakeenan bari ebraten hain”.
[Have you not seen that Allah drives the clouds softly, then joins them together, and then piles them one over the other so that you see that rain comes out from the midst thereof? And He sends down from the sky wherein mountains of ice are, some hails out of them; then casts it over whom He will and turns it away from whom He will. It is very near that its flash of light: ding may take away the sight. Allah turns about the night and the day. Undoubtedly in, it is a lesson for those who have eyes].
(Surah As-Sajda 27):
“kiya ya nahe dekhty k hum pani  bhejty hank husk zameen ke tarf …phir is sy khetian nikalty hain…jisy in k jnavar or ya khud khaty hain..kiya phir be ya nae dekhty……???”
[And do they not see that We send water toward dry land, and produce thereby crops of which their cattle and they themselves eat? Do then they sees not?]
(Surah Az-Zariat 20-21):
“or yakeen valon k liay zameen mein buht sari nishanian hain…or khud tumari zaat mn be, tu kia tum dekhty nahi ho….???”
[And in the earth are signs for those who are convinced. And in your own selves. Do you not then perceive?]
(Surah Qaf 6-8):
“kia unhon nay asman ko apny uper nahi dekha? K hum ne usy kis tara banayia ha…or zeenat de hay..is mn koi shigaaf nahi. Or zameen ko hum nay becha dia..or is mn pahar daal diay hain..or is mn hum ne kisam kisam ke khushnuma cheezen k joray ugay. Ta k har ruju karny valy bandy k liay samaj or bhuj ka zaryia ho.”
[Have they not looked up to the sky above them, how We have built it and adorned it and that there is no rift therein? And the earth We have spread it out, and placed there in anchors of mountains and caused to grow therein every beautiful pair. An insight and understanding for every returning bondman.]
(Surah Al-A’raf 179):
“or beshak hum ne aisy buht sy jin or insan dozakh k liay peeda kiay han jin k dil han lekin vo kuch nahe smjty…or jin ke ankhen hain lekin kuch nahi dekhty…or jin k kaan han k kuch nahi sunty…ya log janvaron ke tara han…bal k un sy be ziada gumrah han…yahe log gafil han.”
[Undoubtedly, We have created for Hell many jinn and men, they have hearts, but understand not therewith and the eyes, they see not there with and the ears, they hear not therewith. They are like cattle, nay, more misguided. They are indeed lying heedless.]

Moving Water



When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

When actions come from another section, the feeling disappears.

Don't let others lead you. They may be blind or, worse, vultures.

Reach for the rope of God. And what is that? Putting aside self-will.

Because of willfulness people sit in jail, the trapped bird's wings are tied, fish sizzle in the skillet.

The anger of police is willfulness. You've seen a magistrate inflict visible punishment.

Now see the invisible. If you could leave your selfishness, you would see how you've been torturing your soul.

We are born and live inside black water in a well.

How could we know what an open field of sunlight is? Don't insist on going where you think you want to go.

Ask the way to the spring. Your living pieces will form a harmony.

There is a moving palace that floats in the air with balconies and clear water flowing through, infinity everywhere, yet contained under a single tent.

Hum OR Hamary Halaat



Mulk mn koi buhran ata hay ya koi mushkil wakt, sara mulk discussion forum ban jata hay, dalail par dalail, keechar uchalna, ilzamat ke bochaar, talukat mn begar, jesy he apni contribution ke bari ati hay, mehfil barkhast, behas khatam, dalail zail...
Hum 50,000 k dresses purchase kr skty han, karoron ke garian offord kr skty han, gharon ke ba jay mehlon mn rehna prefer kr sakty han, lekin apny hum watno k liy kuch nai kr skty, funds ekathy kiay jaty han tu photo session k begair nai, jazba-e-hub-ul-watni jay bhaar mn, humari be-hisi kisi america, india ke sazish nai, kisi political party ka agenda nahi, bal k apny amaal han,
jab awam corrupt hy tu hukamran b corrupt, rona kis baat ka...

SOCHNY KE BAAT

ab dushman mahaaz par nai larta, kun k usy mun ke khani parti hay, ab usne koum mn 'meer jaffar' peeda kr diay han, ab dushman k harbay badal gaye han, dushman begair etla k pani chorta hay, mulk doob jata ha, or hum katal o garat mn masroof han, apas mn lar rhy han, mulk mushkil tareen dour se guzray hum galion mn change k naam par theater laga lety han, dosron k ghar jalty han hum tamasha dekhty han,

1965 ke jang mn foujion ke madad k liay aurton ny apny zewraat tak dy diay, mardon ne meedan e jung ke taraf dour lagai, foujion k liay khana bana kr pohanchaiya jata, koi firka wariyat na thee, sub Pakistani thy,

lekin ab hum kahan hain??? Is kadar be-hisi...!
Yad ata hay mjy Vo mazoor bacha, ek bazo se mazoor, usne muthi mn daby chand note meri taraf barhay, or kaha ' mjy pata chala hay k ap sailab zadgaan k liay funds ekathy kr rai han, ye meri taraf se, jab ap fouji bhaion ko den tu unen batiay ga k "mano" ne apny adhy khany paisy apny bhaion k liay diay han"...

Us wakt na pochiay k meri halat kya thee.! kehny waly sach hi keh gy han.


""J kr deen ilam vich honda, sir naizy kun charhdy hoo,
18000 jo alam aye, O aggy HUSSAIN (RA) dy mardy hoo,
J kuj mulahza sarvar da krdy, tan pani kun band krdy hoo,
J kr mandy bait RASOOLI (SAWW), tan tanmbo khaimy kun sardy hoo,
Par sadiq deen una da Bahoo, jery sir qurbani krdy hoo...!

"DAWN OF WINTERS"

cloudy sky
cool breeze of heavens
the sleeping sun

The Joy That Wounds

“You try to be faithful
And sometimes you're cruel.
You are mine. Then, you leave.
Without you, I can't cope.


And when you take the lead,
I become your footstep.
Your absence leaves a void.
Without you, I can't cope.


You have disturbed my sleep,
You have wrecked my image.
You have set me apart.
Without you, I can't cope.”
