Allah ko nahi btaate hain ki teri mushkil kitni badi hain. Mushkil ko ye btaate h ki tera Allah kitna bada hai.

Yaar Ko Humne Ja Ba Ja Dekha – Kalaam Hazrat Shah Niaz R.A.

Manum Maanay Azmandi K Be Tonay Yaazdaanran.

Ghum-e-choon To Naaz Ni Ni.

Ghum-e-choon To Naaz Ni Ni Behizaar Naaz-daran.

Kohe-e- Afataab-e-chashman Wa Jamaal Toos To Roshan.

Ager Astobazgeeram Bad Bay Chashm-e-raazgaaran.

“I am needful person, who needs you.

I will take for granted very dearly the sorrow of a beloved like you.

You are light of my eyes and your face is shining. If I give up you, to whom will go.”

Yaar ko hamne ja ba ja dekha,

Kahin zaahir kahin chhupa dekha.

Nukta-e-imaan se waaqif ho,

Chehra-e-yaar ja ba ja dekha.

Kahin mumkin hua kahin waajib,

Kahin faani kahin baqa dekha.

Deed apne ki thi use khwahish,

Aap ko har tarah bana dekha.

Dekhta aap hai sune hai aap,

Na koi uska ma siwa dekha.

Soorat-e-gul mein khilkhila ke hansa,

Shakl-e-bulbul mein chahchaha dekha.

Shama ho kar ke aur parwana,

Aap ko aap mein jala dekha.

Kar ke daawa kahin anal haq ka,

Bar sare daar wo khincha dekha.

Tha woh bartar shuma-o-ma se 'Niyaz',

Phir wohi ab shuma-o-ma dekha.

Kahin begaanavash nazar aaya,

Kahin surat se aashna dekha.

Kahin hai badshah-e-takht nashin,

Kahin kaasa liye gada dekha.

Kahin aabid banaa kahin zahid,

Kahin rindon ka peshwa dekha.

Kahin woh dar libaas-e-mashooqaan,

Bar sare naaz aur ada dekha,

Kahin aashiq 'Niyaz' ki soorat,

Seena biryaan-o-dil jala dekha.

English Translation:

I saw my beloved in all I saw,

At times revealed, hidden at times.

Been familiar with the issue of faith,

I saw the face of my beloved in all I saw.

At times a possibility, at times imperative,

At times ephemeral, at times eternal.

Inspired by the wish to see Himself,

He made Himself into every form.

He is the one who sees and hears

I saw no one other then Him.

Laughed gleefully through blooming flowers,

Crooned in nightingale's melodious songs.

He took the forms of the candle and the moth,

And annihilated Himself in flames of His own.

At times claiming "I am the Truth",

Witnessed his head raised on the Cross.

O 'Niyaz' He was beyond the bounds of `You' and `Me',

And yet I see Him in every `You' and `Me'.

At times he behaved like unfamiliar,

At timed I found him familiar with the face.

At times he is the emperor in power,

At times seen with a mendicant's begging bowl.

At times, a devout worshipper,

Lord of rakes and drunkards at times.

At times in the beloved's attire,

He was seen throwing up His charms.

At times as a lover like 'Niyaz',

He was seen beating his breast and heart aflame.

Shehr e Zaat

Koi Ishq maangta hai, koi duniya maangta hai. Aur jo ye sab kuch nahi maangta, woh khuwahish ka khatam hona maangta hai.

[khanabadosh-dil-o-jaan]

Kabhi paon ki mitti bana dete ho,

Kabhi sar ka taj.

[tujhbinnahilagda]

Shehr e Zaat

Pehlay pehlay apne haath se banaye huwe butth (sculpture) se pyaar hojata hai, phir apnay aap se Ishq hojata hai.

[suhanabgum]

Jissay Allah apni mohabbat deta hai ussay aur kisi cheez ki khwahish nahi hoti. Aur jo duniya ki khwahish karta hai, uss ki khwahish bhook ban jati hai, kabhi na khatam honay wali bhook

Shehr-e-zaat (Umerah Ahmed)

[suhanabgum]

Tujhe banaya hai uss ne toh kya tujhay chor de ga? Kabhi maa mailay main bachay ki ungli chorti hai? Agar choot bhi jaye toh bacha itna beqaraar nahi hota jitni maa hoti hai. Phir Allah insaan ko kaise chor sakta hai? Tujhe kaise chor sakta hai? Uss ki nazar main jo aik baar aa jata hai hamesha rehta hai.

मर्द औरत के लिए क्या होता है? एक दरवाज़ा, और दरवाज़े का काम होता है रास्ता देना या रोकना। और औरत दरवाज़े को खोलने की कोशिश ही नहीं करती। ईश्वर आज़माता है। वह उसकी चौखट को चूमती है, सजदा करती है, तो मर्द दरवाज़ा क्यों न रोके?
