What is Tasawwuf ?

What is Tasawwuf ? Good character and awareness of God.
That’s all Tasawwuf is. And nothing more.

What is Tasawwuf ? Love and affection.
It is the cure for hatred and vengeance. And nothing more.

What is Tasawwuf ? The heart attaining tranquility -
which is the root of religion. And nothing more.

What is Tasawwuf ? Concentrating your mind,
which is the religion of Ahmad (peace be upon him). And nothing more.

What is Tasawwuf ? Contemplation that travels to the Divine throne.
It is a far-seeing gaze. And nothing more.

Tasawwuf is keeping one’s distance from imagination and supposition.
Tasawwuf is found in certainty. And nothing more.

Surrendering one’s soul to the care of the inviolability of religion;
this is Tasawwuf. And nothing more.

Tasawwuf is the path of faith and affirmation of unity;
this is the incorruptible religion. And nothing more.

Tasawwuf is the smooth and illuminated path.
It is the way to the most exalted paradise. And nothing more.

I have heard that the ecstasy of the wearers of wool
comes from finding the taste of religion. And nothing more.

Tasawwuf is nothing but Shari’at.
It is just this clear road. And nothing more.

An Anonymous Persian Poem -
Translated by A. A. Godlas

Allah ke bande hasde

Toota toota ek parinda aise toota
Ke phir jud naa paaya
Loota loota kisne usko aise loota
Ke phir ud naa paaya
O o o o toota toota ek parinda aise toota
Ke phir jud naa paaya
Loota loota kisne usko aise loota
Ke phir ud naa paaya
Girta hua woh asma se
Aakar gira zameen par
Khwabon mein phir bhi badal hi the
Woh kehta raha magar
Ke allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega

Kho ke aapne par hi to usne tha ud naa sikha
Kho ke aapne par hi to o o o
Kho ke aapne par hi to usne tha ud naa sikha
Gham ko aapne saath mein lele dard bhi tere kaam aayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega

Aa aa aaa
Tukde tuke ho gaya tha har sapna jab woh toota
Tukde tuke ho gaya tha aa aaa aa
Tukde tuke ho gaya tha har sapna jab woh toota
Bhikre tukdon mein allah ki marzi ka manzar paayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega
Toota toota ek parinda aise toota
Ke phir jud naa paaya
Loota loota kisne usko aise loota
Ke phir ud naa paaya
Girta hua woh asma se
Aakar gira zameen par
Khwabon mein phir bhi badal hi the
Woh kehta raha magar
Ke allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega
Allah ke bande hasde allah ke bande
Allah ke bande hasde jo bhi ho kal phir aayega

Tujhe Bhoolna Thhi Meri Majburi

Tujhe Bhoolna Thhi Meri Majburi,
Isme Teri Thhi Na Koi Kamjori,

Par Tu Bhoola Kuch Is Kadar Mujhe,
Jaise Intezaar Thha Is Pal Ka Tujhe!!

Woh Hamare Nahi To Kya Ghum Hai

Woh Hamare Nahi To Kya Ghum Hai
Hum To Unhi Ke Hain Yeh Kya Kam Hai
Na Ghum Kam Hain Na Aansu Kam Hai
Dekhte Hain Rulane Wale Mein Kitna Dam Hai

Dil Shokh Hasinaaon Se Lagana Nahi Achcha

Dil Shokh Hasinaaon Se Lagana Nahi Achcha,
Ho Jaoge Badnaam Zamaana Nahi Achcha

Gir Jaoge Nazron Se Ho Jaoge Gumnaam
Har Shakhs Ki Nigaahon Mein Samana Nahi Achcha.

Mera Har Zakhm Dega Teri Bewafai Ka Saboot
Abhi Dard Kehta Hai Ki, Unko Dikhana Nahi Achcha.

Dil Todke Tumko Bhi Rahat Na Milegi

Dil Todke Tumko Bhi Rahat Na Milegi,
Mujh Jaisi Kisi Aur Ko Milne Ki Chahat Na Milegi,
Barbaad Hoke Bhi Tera Bura Na Chaha,
Dil Chir Ke Dekhlo Kabhi Nafrat Na Milegi.

Pal Bhar Mein Toot Jaye Wo Kasam Nahi

Pal Bhar Mein Toot Jaye Wo Kasam Nahi
Dosti Ko Bhulnay Wale Hum Nahi,
Tum Bewafa Bano Iss Baat Mein Dum Nahi,
Kyun Ke Humari Wafa Bhi Kuch Kam Nahi.

Har Pal Tujhe Yaad Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Har Pal Tujhe Yaad Yeh Dil Karta To Hai
Teri Khushi Ki Fariyaad Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Tumne To Karli Bewafai Humse
Fir Bhi Tujhi Se Wafa Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Meri Mohabbat Ko Tune Kai Ilzaam De Diye
Fir Bhi Tujhe Chahne Ki Khata Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Tod Ke Wada Tum Chal Diye
Fir Bhi Tera Intzaar Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Gham Tujhe Kabhi Chhoo Na Paaye
Bus Yehi Dua Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Tere Sare Aansoo Muhje Mil Jaaye
Yehi Iltizaa Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Dil Ke Badle Dil Ke Anginat Tukde Mile Hume
Toota Hua Hi Sahi Tere Liye Yeh Dil Dhadkata To Hai

Na Mil Saki Mohabbat Teri Hume
Fir Bhi Tujhise Mohabbat Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Tum To Kar Na Sake Iqraar-E-Mohabbat
Lekin Pyar Ka Izhaar Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Har Modd Per Sivaye Dagaa Kuch Na Diya Tumne
Fir Bhi Tere Liye Khuda Se Takraar Yeh Dil Karta To Hai

Ajnabi Tujhe Na Bhool Paaye Hai Hum

Ajnabi Tujhe Na Bhool Paaye Hai Hum,
Ae Bewafa Tujhe Na Maaf Kar Payenge Hum,

Kare Bhi To Kya Iss Nadaan Dil Ka Hum,
Jitni Nafrat Utni Hi Mohabbat Karte Hai Hum,

Jante Hai Na Mil Payenge Kabhi Hum,
Aur Na Hi Sapno Se Tujhe Dur Kar Payenge Hum,

Mujhe Is Baat Ka Yakeen Na Ho Saka

Mujhe Is Baat Ka Yakeen Na Ho Saka,
Katil Ko Laga Mein Use Pheechan Na Saka,
Aakhe Hi Phod Di Zalim Ne Meri, Magar
Dosto Ko To Pheechante Thhe Hum Khushboo Se Har Jagah.
