ALLAH say kare door to taleem bhi fitna.
Amlaak bhi olaad bhi jageer bhi fitna.
Na-haq k lye uthay to shamsheer bhi fitna.
Shamsheer he kya Nara-e-Takbeer bhi fitna .

The Elephant Robe
July 6th, 2013, posted in MESSAGEs, Scarface'S DIARY, STORiES, Sufism
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. Well, trainer said, when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, its enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldnt, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before ??
Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

For My Longings And Prayers Are Only Known To One
June 5th, 2013, posted in BoYs, POEtRY.., Sufism
I was dreaming of Makkah
The tomb in Medina
The memories in Jerusalem
The shrine in Karbala
Look at the congregations on Friday
Worshipers rushing into the Mosques
Listen to that beautiful call to prayer
It is all for You, my Creator
Believers memorize Your sacred verses
Theologians are absorbed in pursuit of Divine knowledge
Scholars fill endless books about Your Supreme Majesty
Mystics adorn Your Beauty with poetry
I am jealous of all Your Lovers
I want to be the only pilgrim in the holy city
I want to stand before the Kaabah alone
Just You and me
Call me Your slave
Tell me where I belong
Attend to my wounds
Tell me where I am wrong
I am reaching for Elysium
Remove this horrible grief and sorrow
Take me for another dance
And teach me a new lesson
Just You and me
Call it blasphemy, call it selfish
The words of those clerics cannot judge me
For my longings and prayers are only known to One
