Rooth ker janai walai, mujhe tujh se koi gila nahi...

Rooth ker janai walai, mujhe tujh se koi gila nahi,
Berukhi qabool hai, muhabbat ka koi sila nahi,

Lambi hai yeh shaam e ghum aur waqt bohat hai,
Niklay thai jis ki talash main manzil per woh mila nahi,

Dasht-e-tanhai hai ya phir haal-e-dil hai yeh mera,
Jaise k hawa chali bagh main aur patta koi hila nahi,

Jisne dil dai ker bhi tawaqo rakhi dil laine ki unn se,
Ghareeb ko qarz deta hoga zakat fisabilillah nahi,

With anger you have left us but we have no greivences,
Your aloofness is welcome because for love we expect no return,

This night of loneliness is long and much a time is left,
In whose search we left was not to found when we reached,

Is it the barren dessert or is this the state of my heart?
For the wind blows but not a leaf moves,

He who after giving their heart, expects one in return,
Gives not charity to the poor but a loan instead,

- Hassan Bin Fahim

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."
