Sultan Tipu Ki Wasiyyat

Tu Reh Naward-e-Shauq Hai, Manzil Na Kar Qabool
Laila Bhi Hum-Nasheen Ho To Mehmil Na Kar Qabool


If you traverse the road of love, Don't yearn to seek repose or rest:
If Layla be your companion close that litter shun with great contempt.


Ae Jooye Aab Barh Ke Ho Darya-e-Tund-o-Taiz
Sahil Tujhe Ataa Ho To Sahil Na Kar Qabool


O streamlet, onward flow and get transformed to torrent strong and deep:
If bank is ever on you bestowed, Abstain, flow on with mighty sweep.


Khoya Na Ja Sanamkada-e-Kainat Mein
Mehfil Gudaz! Garmi-e-Mehfil Na Kar Qabool


Don't lose your bearings in this world because with idols it is full:
The assemblage here can cast a spell, disdain, or strings of heart shall pull.


Subah-e-Azal Ye Mujh Se Kaha Jibreel Ne
Jo Aqal Ka Ghulam Ho, Woh Dil Na Kar Qabool


Early morning Gabriel told to me
Never accept the heart, that which is the slave of the mind.


Batil Dooyi Pasand Hai, Haq La-Shareek Hai
Shirkat Mayana-e-Haq-o-Batil Na Kar Qabool


Untruth conceals in various masks but Truth is unique:
There can't be pool twixt good and bad�This fact is known from times antique.

Amir Khusro- Sakal Bun Phool Rahi Sarson

This Qalam is a classical hits and all-time favorite. The Purbi lyrics and the raag bahar melody are both very inspirational and its contains many words in Urdu as well. A scene of exciting preparation taking place near a blooming yellow mustard field one winter's day is expertly drawn in just a few lines. The music builds up in-step with the poetry and reaches its crescendo at the exact moment when the devotees arrive at the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin holding colorful bouquets in hand. But one particular devotee cannot be there to make an offering and one finds that despite all the excitement of the music and the scenery the poem is but a poet's confession of a broken promise long overdue. Sakal bun (or Saghan bhun) phool rahi sarson, Sakal bun phool rahi..... Umbva phutay, tesu phulay, koyal bolay daar daar, Aur gori karat singaar, Malaniyan gadhwa lay aayin karson, Sakal bun phool rahi..... Tarah tarah kay phool lagaaye, Lay gadhwa haathan mein aaye. Nijamudin kay darwazay...

Mard-e-Musalman

Har Lehza Hai Moomin Ki Nayee Shaan Nayee Aaan; Guftar Mein Kirdaar Mein Allah Ki Burhaan. Every Moment of a True Believer is a new grandeur; By words and deeds he gives a proof Of Mighty God, His reach and power Qahhari-o-Ghaffari-o-Quddusi-o-Jabrood; Yeh Chaar Anasir Ho Tho Banta Hai Musalmaan. Rout the foes, Grant them Reprieve, Do pious deeds & show great might; Are the four characteristics that make A Perfect Muslim Hamsaaya-e-Jibreel-e-Ameen Banda-e-Khaki; Hai Iska Nasheman Na Bukhaara Na Badakhshaan. This clay-born man has kinship close to Gabriel the trusted; His dwelling place is neve r a land or clime. Ye Raaz Kisiko Nahin Maalum Ke Moomin! Qari Nazar Aata Hai; Haqeekat Mein Hai Qur'an. The Believer's Secret has not been known by anyone. He looks like a Reciter; But in fact he himself is the Qur'an. Qudrat Ke Maqasid Ka Ayyar, Iske Iraade; Duniya Mein Bhi Mizaan, Qayamat Mein Bhi Mizaan. The Nature's aims and ends are his intentions; He keeps Balance in th...
