Raanaai-e-kaunain se be-zaar humeen the - Ehsan Danish



Raanaai-e-kaunain se be-zaar humeen the,
Hum the, tere jalwon ke talabgaar humeen the !

Hai farq talabgaar-o-parastaar mein aye dost,
Duniya thi talabgaar parastaar humeen the !

Is banda-navaazi ke tasadduq ke sar-e-mehshar,
Goya teri rehmat ke sazaa-waar humeen the !

De de ke nigaahon ke tasawwur ka sahaara,
Raton ko tere waaste bedaar humeen the !

Bazaar-e-azal yun to bahot garm tha lekin,
Le de ke mohabbat ke khareedar humeen the !

Khatke hain tere saare gulistaan ki nazar mein,
Sab apni jagah phool the khaar humeen the !

Haan aap ko dekha tha mohabbat se humeen ne,
Jii saare zamaane ke gunahgaar humeen the !

Hai aaj wo soorat ke banaaye nahin banti,
Kal naqsh-e-do-aalam ke kalamkaar humeen the !

Pachhtaaoge dekho humein begaana samajh kar,
Maanoge kisi waqt ke gham-khwaar humeen the !

Arbaab-e-watan khush hain humein dil se bhulaa kar,
Jaise nigah-o-dil pe bas ik baar humeen the !

�Ehsaan� hai be-sood gila unki jafaa ka,
Chaaha tha unhein hum ne, khatawaar humeen the !

~ �Ehsaan� Danish Sahab

Rumi and Shakespeare

By Wes Jamroz, excerpts from his new book, Shakespeare's Sequel to Rumi's Teaching "Jalaluddin Rumi and William Shakespeare are considered to be the greatest poets of Persian and English literature, respectively. However, there is much more in common between these two titans of poetry who lived some 350 years and 2,000 miles apart. In his Sonnets, Shakespeare acknowledged that his writings were inspired by Rumi�s poetry. He referred to Rumi as one of �Alien pens� whom he was asked to study. He described Rumi as �He of tall building, and of goodly pride�. Shakespeare admitted that Rumi�s verses were so powerful that they were stopping his thoughts before he was able to formulate them. Although Shakespeare was strongly influenced by Rumi�s poetry, it should be emphasized that his writings were not merely some adaptations of Rumi�s illustrations from an Eastern environment into the Western culture. Such understanding would greatly diminish Shakespeare�s role. Shakespeare wa...
