I am a soul clouded by a world filled with conflicting environments. This is one way of me trying to find my path in life.
I will try to keep the theme of this blog as consistant as possible but I cannot help myself if I stray. Please feel free to join the discourses.

"In the West, Intellect is the source of life.
In the East, Love is the basis of life.
Through Love, Intellect grows acquainted with Reality,
And Intellect gives stability to the work of Love,
Arise and lay the foundations of a new world,
By wedding Intellect to Love."

"The secret divine my ecstasy has taught
I may convey if I have Gabriel's breath.
What can these stars tell me of my fate?
They are lost themselves in the boundless firmament.
The total absorption of thought and vision is life,
Scattered thought is selfhood's total death.
Pleasures of selfhood are a blessing of God,
Who makes me lose my awareness of myself.
With a pure heart, a noble aim, a poignant soul.
I care not for Solomon's wealth or Plato's thought.
The Prophet's 'Mairaj' has taught me that heaven
Lies within the bounds of human reach.
This universe, perhaps, is yet incomplete,
For I hear repeated sounds of "Be, And It Was."
Thy mind is ruled by the magic of the West,
Thy cure lies in the Fire of Rumi's faith.
It is he who has given my eyes a blissful vision,
It is he who has blessed my soul with light."
-Allama Iqbal

You have an interesting blog. I like the quote from Iqbal and also your poetry: fresh and straight from the heart.

Thank you Raza. I am not sure if I would call it poetry. They are really just thoughts I write down. I don’t make an effort to format them into one particular style. Its a more purist way of expressing myself. I am glad you find my blog interesting. Keep Visiting!

Sabaq wafa ka sikayaa bhi naheen ja sakta,
Jo seek lo to bolayaa bhi naheen ja sakta,
Yeh haseen dard dil mein chupaya bhi naheen ja sakta,
Aur agar koi pooche, to batayaa bhi naheen ja sakta
