“Chaap Tilak

Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Prem bhatee ka madhva pilaikay
Matvali kar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Gori gori bayyan, hari hari churiyan
Bayyan pakar dhar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Bal bal jaaon mein toray rang rajwa
Apni see kar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Khusrau Nijaam kay bal bal jayyiye
Mohay Suhaagan keeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay


Translation
You've taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance.
By making me drink the wine of love-potion,
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
My fair, delicate wrists with green bangles in them,
Have been held tightly by you with just a glance.
I give my life to you, Oh my cloth-dyer,
You've dyed me in yourself, by just a glance.
I give my whole life to you Oh, Nijam,
You've made me your bride, by just a glance.”
Amir Khusrau

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
Rumi

A. Helwa
“Mystics throughout time have said that they believe in God like they believe in light, not because they can see light, but because through it they see everything else.”
A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

Hazrat Inayat Khan
“What does it mean to become spiritual, or godly? It means to have a higher view of life, to look at life from a higher point of view. It is the high point of
view in life which ennobles the soul; it is by a broad outlook on life that spiritual aristocracy is realized.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Heart of Sufism: Essential Writings of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan
“The soul is life, it never touches death. Death is its illusion, its impression, death comes to something which it holds, not to the soul itself. The soul becomes accustomed to identify itself with the body it adopts, with the environment which surrounds it, with the names by which it is known, with its rank and possessions, which are only the outward signs that belong to the world of illusion. The soul absorbed in its childlike fancies, in things that it values and to which it gives importance, and in the beings to which it attaches itself, blinds itself by the veils of its illusion. Thus it covers its own truth with a thousand veils from its own eyes.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Heart of Sufism: Essential Writings of Hazrat Inayat Khan
