Be chamha aabi zam zam
Be chamha aabi zam zam,Khudayo kar milem sarr. Satisar gomut chu khaeli,Khabar kott gayi sa Jehlam,Chu na kahn, cze nish mye niyham,Be chamha aabi zam zam. Phyeran chus bathen te baalan,Kaeczan chus Majnu ti basan,Czei zaanekh, chumm mye kya ghamm,Be chamha aabi zam zam. Wadan chus subhas te shaamas,Gomut kya chum yi paanas,Chus pyaran, kar mye milhyem,Be chamha aabi zam zam. Gamecz zann ghar-vujhedi,Katyo chukh, cham bekareri,Yitam, chukh czei mye malham,Be chamha aabi zam zam. Romut chus, chamm ne kahn wath,Pakaan chus chaani baapath,Wath haawtamm, kya gasi kamm,Be chamha aabi zam zam. Khudayo kar milem sarr,Be chamha aabi zam zam. بہٕ چَمہا آبِ زَمزَمخۄدایو کَر مِلؠم سَر سٔتی سَر گوٚمُت…

Proclaim! All of you who care, Proclaim!
Proclaim! You the reader, Proclaim! “In what capacity do I proclaim? In whose name do I proclaim?” “Proclaim, in the name of your Lord who created man from (what you could never imagine it could be made from. A thing nothing in its essence, then what is it that fills you with arrogance.)” “Proclaim, the fact that your Lord is the most Bounteous (for it is he who has given all that he has given to anyone who has anything. There is nothing to be proud about).” Proclaim! You who has lost courage, Proclaim! “What do I tell them who it is that taught me what to proclaim?” “(Proclaim that…

Kaashif and Baatin on Love
What does it mean to say that if there is a tinge of attachment it is not real Love? Kaashif Real Love is selfless. There is no attachment, you don’t need the person anymore. Baatin How can “no attachment” be possible? Kaashif At the “real” level of Love, you are not attached to the person but the person’s “being”. And that is how “no attachment” is possible. Baatin Separation from the beloved shouldn’t hurt then. Kaashif The “being” of the person never goes. The beloved always “is” once she “has been”, she cannot “not be”, for a person who has “been” will always “be”, he can never “not be”. Baatin…

How to practice faith?
I don’t claim to be a mystic who has gained any kind of spiritual mileage, however, the very fact that I am a human being makes me eligible to write on a topic that concerns the core living of us humans. While for most of my life I have held on to rationalism in the public sphere of my life while holding on to intuition as the source of judgment in my personal one, the two often seem to be at loggerheads for an outsider. That, however, has not been true in my experience; it has been a smooth ride between the two seemingly contradictory sources of knowledge. Why I…
