Sir jhokai tere derbaar main kherhai hain hum..

Sir jhokai tere derbaar main kherhai hain hum,
Phir ussi rah-e-ishq per chal perhai hain hum,

Muhabbat ki do he dastaanain banti hain,
Qatil mehboob woh aur aashiq berhai hain hum,

Izzat, aitebar, muhabbat, ehsaas aur, wafadaari
Raqeeb ko jo milta hai ussi k leye tou lerhai hain hum,

Ibteda-e-safar per aah nahi berdasht unhain,
Kamosh kanton k paharon per charain hain hum,

Ab ker woh gaye tou mer jaonga laoutnai sai pehle,
Bewafaon ki baaton per bohat aaitebar kerain hain hum,

TRANSLATION:

With my head bowed I stand in your assembly,
Again on the same path of love have I strayed on,

There are only two stories to be told in love,
They are the cruel beloved and we love without end,

Respect, trust, love, compassion and loyalty,
What you give to my rival, I strive to get from thee,

In the beginnings of the journey they like not to hear moans,
Thus with silence have we climbed the mountains of thorns,

If they leave us now, we will die before we return to them,
Much have we put our faith in those who are without faith,

- Hassan Bin Fahim

I'm not saying that his excellency,  Maulana Rumi is a Prophet, but he sure does have a Book.

Rumi and Confucius

"Despite the fact that Confucius and Rumi were born in different periods and places, both were born at a time of social upheaval and political turmoil. Consequently, both thinkers tried to provide the means for their people to overcome the times of difficulty, first by understanding, cultivating, and realizing their human potentialities, and then by transforming themselves, their families, and their societies. Interestingly, Rumi and Confucius share more in common than most people would think and their teachings are still meaningful and relevant to the modern world. The wisdom of Confucius and Rumi provides today�s readers with spiritual resources to overcome the challenges of our time and to build bridges of understanding and dialogue among different cultures and civilizations. This paper examines the core ideas of these two great thinkers and provides anthropocosmic insights into their ideas on nature, family and music."
