A Tiny Rose Bud........Secret Unknown

It is a tiny rose bud.
A flower of God's design
But I can not unfold the petals
With these clumsy
hands of mine.




The secret of unfolding flowers
is not known to such as I
God opens this flower
so sweetly
In my hand it will fade & die

If I can not unfold a rosebud,

This flower of God's design,

Then how can I think

I have wisdom

To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him
For His leading
Each moment of everyday.
I will look at Him
For His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

The Pathway

That lies before me

Only my Allah knows.

I'll trust Him to unfold

the moments,

Just as He unfolds the rose.

Love is.......??

Love isn't the work of the tender

          and the gentle

Love is the struggle, the toughest

      wrestlers   

Don't ask anyone about Love

Ask only Love about Love.

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi Rahmatullah Alaihy

With Beloved......

Brothers,my peace is in my aloneness.

My beloved is alone with me there, always.

I have found nothing in all worlds

That could match His love,

This love that harrows the sand of my desert.

If I come to die of desire

And my beloved is still not satisfied,

I would live in eternal despair,

To abandon all that He has fashioned

And hold in the palm of my hand

Certain proof that He loves me-

That is the name and goal of my search.

Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya

Power of Love

Bitter is made sweet through love;

    copper becomes gold through love.

    Through love dregs become clear;

    love heals all pain.

   Through love the king becomes slave;

    love brings the dead to life.

 [Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi Rahmatullah Alaihy]

Talabgar

Duniya mein hu, duniya ka talabgar nahi hu

Bazaar se guzra hu, khareedar nahi hu

-khwaja Azizul Hassan Majzoob RA

I live in the world but i do not cherish it

I walked through the marketplace, but I am not a buyer

Yearning for Love

O All-Knowing, you opened my heart to the way of supplication. Yearning for Your love is glorious and grand; lust for other love is disgraceful and corrupt. Your divine court is the infinite plane. I leave behind the throne of honor, for the real throne of honor is Your way.


Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi( Rahmatullah Alaihy )

Oh beloved !

 Oh Beloved,

Take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.
Oh Beloved,

Take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihy)

This is how

This is how I would die
into the love I have for you:

as pieces of cloud
dissolve in sunlight. 

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi(R A)

O sweet beloved !

I said,

“O sweet Beloved,

You are the refuge of my soul.”

He said, “If you belong to Me,

don’t talk of your own soul.”

I said, “Why do You cut me

with Your sharp words?”

He said, “My words wouldn’t hurt you,

if you weren’t in love with yourself.”

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

O' Allah

” O God, Whenever I listen to the voice of anything
You have made -
The rustling of the trees
The trickling of water
The cries of birds
The flickering of shadow
The roar of the wind
The song of the thunder, I hear it saying:
“God is One!
Nothing can be compared with God!”


Rabi’a al-’Adawiyya.

Throne of Honour

O All-Knowing, You opened my heart to the way of supplication. 
Yearning for Your love is glorious and grand;
lust for other love is disgraceful and corrupt.
Your divine court is the infinite plane.
I leave behind the throne of honor,
for the real throne of honor is Your way.


Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A)

Be awake,Be a seeker

 If your heart isn't yet illumined
Be awake always, be a seeker of the
heart,
Be at war continually with your carnal soul.
But if your
heart is already awakened,
Sleep peacefully, sleep in the arms of
Love.

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

Crying before Beloved

“I cry and weep before my Beloved, for that appears well pleaseing to Him
And in both worlds our crying and sorrowful sighs are loved byHim.
Blessed is that eye that cries in the remembrance of the Beloved
And blessed is the heart that is embroiled in His love.
For as long as the babe does not cry,
milk does not flow forth from mother breasts
And as long as the clouds don’t shed raindrops,
the garden does not become green.
From the ‘crying’ of the clouds, the garden becomes green and fertile.
And as much as the candle cries, so much it increases its light.
And where tears flow, mercy prevails.
Allah equates the tears of the sinner in grief
To the blood flowing from a martyr.
Crying and weeping is a great wealth.
And the Mercy of Allah is a great blessing.
The wealth of this world consists of gold and silver.
The capital in Allah’s sight is Love and two crying eyes.”
Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

Whoever knows Me

True love is nothing but drinking the wine of eternity.
In this state, the soul finds life only by dying-
but I wanted things in reverse!
I thought, "First I will know you, then I will die."
He replied, "Whoever knows Me never dies."

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

When I run to You...

Let me hide in You
From everything that distracts me from You,
From everything that comes in my way
When I want to run to You.

Hazrat Rabia Al Basri

Oh My Choice Beauty

O my choice beauty
You've gone
But your love remains in my heart
Your image in my eye
O guide on my winding road
I keep turning round and round in the hopes of
Finding you" 
Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

If you want to reach Him...

Hear this if you can:
If you want to reach Him
You have to go beyond yourself
And when you finally arrive at the land of absence
Be silent
Don’t say a thing
Ecstasy, not words, is the language spoken there" 
Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi(R.A.)

My greatest Need is You.....

Your hope in my heart is the rarest treasure,
Your Name on my tongue is the sweetest word.
My choicest hours
Are the hours I spend with You -

O Allah! I can't live in this world
Without remembering You.

Hazrat Rabia Al Basri

This is Love

"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet."

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (R.A.)

When I mention Your name

"O Allah when I mention Your Name,
I feel such sweetness and ecstasy,
That it appears as if rivers of honey
Are set flowing from every hair of my body."

Moulana Kandhlawy (R.A.)
