Gal Aise Ghar Vich Dhukdi Eh

Translation





God and a man a like

Like cloth is made from cotton.

In a cloth cotton is hidden

Like God hide in a man

"Happy moments, praise God.. Difficult moments, seek God.. Quiet moments, worship God.. Painful moments, trust God..Every Moment, Thank God.."

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

However well i know him, he cannot be described.
he cannot be expressed by words.
the guru is the secret that solves the riddle.
he is the benefactor of all. 
let me never forget him.

Remember the true name 
and meditate on its glory in the ambrosial hour.
through your actions you receive this body,
and by his grace the door to salvation opens.

If my single tongue becomes a hundred thousand,
and this hundred thousand becomes twenty times more,
with each tongue would i sing a hundred thousand times
the only name of the master of the world.

saint or sinner are no empty words;
all our actions have been recorded.
man sows and he himself reaps the harvest.

If you must bow, bow to him (god).
he is the primal being, pure, without beginning or end;
he is the unstruck sound.
he is immutable through all time.

If you must bow, bow to him (god).
he is the primal being, pure, without beginning or end;
he is the unstruck sound.
he is immutable through all time.

The lord is truth. truth is his name.
his praises are sung in endless ways.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” 
― Rumi

It matters not 

who you love, 

where you love, 

why you love, 

when you love, 


or how you love, 

It matters only 

that You love

There is a place in you where there is perfect peace.
There is a place in you where nothing is impossible.
There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.

From 'A Course In Miracles'

Heaven on Earth' is a choice you must make,
not a place you must find.

Dr. Wayne Dye

The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.

Abigail Van Buren

Sow a thought, and you reap an act; Sow an act, and you reap a habit; Sow a habit, and you reap a character; Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.

Charles Reade

Travelers, it is late.
Life's sun is going to set.
During these brief days that you have strength,
be quick and spare no effort of your wings.

Rumi





You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
But you are the key that opens it
It's too bad that you want to be someone else
You don't see your own face, your own beauty
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

Rumi







In truth everything and everyone
Is a shadow of the Beloved,
And our seeking is His seeking
And our words are His words...
We search for Him here and there,
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side, we ask:
'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'

Rumi






Outside ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field.

I'll meet you there.

Rumi




God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly - not one.

Rumi

You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck!

Jalal-Uddin Rumi

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, 
and nothing is so gentle as true strength.

From what we get, we can make a living; 
what we give, however, makes a life.

For attractive lips, 
speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, 
seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, 
share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, 
let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, 
walk with the knowledge you never walk alone.

quotes

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing 
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.” 
― Rumi

Panj Mehal Panjaan Wich Chanaan | Sultan Bahu

Panje maihal, panjaan wich chaanan,Deevaa kit val dharee-e hoo.

Panje maihar, panje patwaaree,Haasil kit val bharee-e hoo.

Panj imaam te panje qible,Sajdaah kit val karee-e hoo.

Je sahib sir mange Baahoo,Hargiz dhill na karee-e hoo.

-

As many as are the waves of the sea

As many as are the waves of the sea,
     so many are the desires of the mind.
Stilling them all, one sits with contentment
     holding the thought of the One
     in his self.

Kabir Ke Dohe PART III

PART-III

Saint Kabir Dohe

Akath Kahani Prem Ki, Kutch Kahi Na Jaye
Goonge Keri Sarkara, Baithe Muskae


Chinta Aisee Dakini, Kat Kaleja Khaye
Vaid Bichara Kya Kare, Kahan Tak Dawa Lagaye


Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Uncha Dekh Aavaas
Kaal Paron Punyah Letna, Ouper Jamsi Ghaas


Kabira Garv Na Keejiye, Kaal Gahe Kar Kes
Na Jaane Kit Mare Hai, Kya Des Kya Pardesh


Kabira Kiya Kutch Na Hote Hai, Ankiya Sab Hoye
Jo Kiya Kutch Hote Hai, Karta Aur Koye


Jyon Naino Mein Putli, Tyon Maalik Ghat Mahin
Moorakh Log Na Janhin, Baahar Dhudhan Jahin


Jab Tun Aaya Jagat Mein, Log Hanse Tu Roye
Aise Karni Na Kari, Pache Hanse Sab Koye


Pehle Agan Birha Ki, Pachhe Prem Ki Pyas
Kahe Kabir Tub Janiye, Naam Milan Ki Aaas


Aag Jo Lagi Samand Mein, Dhuan Na Pargat Hoye
So Jane Jo Jarmua, Jaki Lagi Hoye


 Kabir So Dhan Sanchiye, Jo Aage Ko Hoye
Sees Charaye Potli, Le Jaat Na Dekhya Koye

Translation
Kabir, save the wealth that remains in this Moment
Departing with a bag of material wealth, no one has yet been


Aasa Jive Jag Marey, Log Marey Mar Jayee
Soyee Sube Dhan Sanchate, So Ubrey Jey Khayee

Translation
Hope yet lives, the world dies, people die and die again
Perish yet hoarding wealth, spend and freedom attain


Ek Kahun To Hai Nahin, Do Kahun To Gaari
Hai Jaisa Taisa Rahe, Kahe Kabir Bichari

TranslationIf I say one, It is not; If I say two, it will be a violation
Let 'It' be whatever 'It' is, so says Kabir contemplating

Bulleh Shah’s Poetry-- Makkeh Gaya, Gal Mukdee Naheen

ber 1, 2009 by qausain

-

Makkay gayaan, gal mukdee naheen
Pawain sow sow jummay parrh aaeey

Going to Makkah is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of prayers are offered
-

Ganga gayaan, gal mukdee naheen
Pawain sow sow gotay khaeeay

Going to River Ganges is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of cleansing (Baptisms) are done
-

Gaya gayaan gal mukdee naheen
Pawain sow sow pand parrhaeeay

Going to Gaya is not the ultimate
Even if hundreds of worships are done
-

Bulleh Shah gal taeeyon mukdee
Jadon May nu dillon gawaeeay

Bulleh Shah the ultimate is
When the “I” is removed from the heart!

SUNO BENENTIAN SWAMI || Listen to my prayers .

Rakkhi Charna De Kol

swansa di mala .......

This is one of the best shabad  sung by Bhai Harbans Singh Ji (Jagadhri vale)

Dark Friend, what can I say?

Dark Friend, what can I say?

This love I bring

from distant lifetimes is ancient,

do not revile it.

Seeing your elegant body

I am ravished.

Visit our courtyard, hear the women

singing old hymns

On the square I've laid

out a welcome of teardrops,

body and mind I surrendered ages ago,

taking refuge

wherever your feet pass.

Mira flees from lifetime to lifetime,

your virgin. 

Mirabai

Nothing is really mine...

Mara re Giridhar Gopal
Dusra Na Koi


Sadho, sakal, lok joi, 
dusra na koi


Bhai Chhodia, Bandhu chhodi, chhodia saga soi
Sadhu sang baith baith log laaj khoi




Mine is only Giridhar Gopal (God) 
None else


Amongst all other, 
There is no one else


I have abandoned all my relatives close ones and others
Associating with saints and sages, I lost the respect of society.




 Video for above poetry. .

A Cowherding Girl

Nothing is really mine except Krishna. O my parents, I have searched the world And found nothing worthy of love. Hence I am a stranger amidst my kinfolk And an exile from their company, Since I seek the companionship of holy men; There alone do I feel happy, In the world I only weep. I planted the creeper of love And silently watered it with my tears; Now it has grown and overspread my dwelling. You offered me a cup of poison Which I drank with joy. Mira is absorbed in contemplation of Krishna, She is with God and all is well!

Life in the world

Life in the world is short,
Why shoulder an unnecessary load
Of worldly relationships?
Thy parents gave thee birth in the world,
But the Lord ordained thy fate.
Life passes in getting and spending,
No merit is earned by virtuous deeds.
I will sing the praises of Hari
In the company of the holy men,
Nothing else concerns me.
Mira's Lord is the courtly Giridhara,
She says: Only by Thy power
Have I crossed to the further shore.

Look into Yourself

You have learnt so much
And read a thousand books.
Have you ever read your Self?
You have gone to mosque and temple.
Have you ever visited your soul?
You are busy fighting Satan.
Have you ever fought your
Ill intentions?
You have reached into the skies,
But you have failed to reach
What's in your heart!

I am true to my Lord

I am true to my Lord!
O sakhis, there is nothing to be ashamed of now
Since I have been seen dancing openly.


In the day I have no hunger
At night I am restless and cannot sleep.
Leaving these troubles behind, I go to the other side;
A hidden knowledge has taken hold of me.


My relations surround me like bees.
But Mira is the servant of her beloved Giridhar,
And she cares nothing that people mock her

I have none to call my own

Mine is Gopal,
the Mountain-Holder;
there is no one else.
On his head he wears the peacock-crown:
He alone is my husband. 
Father, mother, brother, relative:
I have none to call my own.


I've forsaken both God,
and the family's honor:
what should I do?


I've sat near the holy ones,
and I've lost shame before the people. 
I've torn my scarf into shreds;
I'm all wrapped up in a blanket. 
I took off my finery of pearls and coral,
 and strung a garland of wildwood flowers.


With my tears,
I watered the creeper of love that I planted;
Now the creeper has grown spread all over,
and borne the fruit of bliss.


The churner of the milk churned with great love.
When I took out the butter,
no need to drink any buttermilk.
I came for the sake of love-devotion;
seeing the world,
I wept.


Mira is the maidservant of the Mountain-Holder:
now with love He takes me across to the further shore.

Why undertake fasts and pilgrimages?

why undertake fasts and pilgrimages?

Why undertake fasts and pilgrimages?

O my mind, 
Worship the lotus feet of the Indestructible One! 
Whatever thou seest twixt earth and sky
Will perish.


Why undertake fasts and pilgrimages? 
Why engage in philosophical discussions? 
Why commit suicide in Banaras? 
Take no pride in the body, 
It will soon be mingling with the dust.


This life is like the sporting of sparrows, 
It will end with the onset of night. 
Why don the ochre robe
And leave home as a sannyasi?


Those who adopt the external garb of a Jogi, 
But do not penetrate to the secret, 
Are caught again in the net of rebirth. 
Mira's Lord is the courtly Giridhara. 
Deign to sever, O Master. 
All the knots in her heart.

TU NA JAANE AAS PASS HE KHUDA

Dhundhla jaayein jo manzilein
Ik pal ko tu nazar jhuka
Jhuk jaaye sar jahan wahi
Milta hai rab ka raasta
Teri kismat tu badal de
Rakh himmat bus chal de
Tere saathi mere kadmon ke hain nishaan
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas paas hai khuda
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
tu na jaane aas paas hai khuda
Khud pe daal tu nazar
Haalaton se haar kar
Kahan chala re
Haath ki lakeer ko
Modhta marodta
Hai hausla re
Toh khud tere khwabon ke rang mein
Tu apne jahan ko bhi rang de
Ke chalta hoon mein tere sang mein
Ho shaam bhi toh kya
Jab hoga andhera
Tab paayega dar mera
Uss dar pe phir hogi teri subah
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
Mitt jaate hain sabke nishaan
Bas ek woh mitt ta nahin hai haye
Maan le jo har mushkil ko marzi meri haye
Ho humsafar na tera jab koi
Tu ho jahan rahunga mein wahi
Tujhse kabhi na ik pal bhi mein judaa

Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda
