Ghazliyat

Mawalam's poetry is full of love; the love of his Lord

He had pure love of Allah

نامِ او چو برز بانم می رود ہر بُن مواز عسل جوئے شود

غزلیات جناب مولانا

اے خنک چشمیکہ اُو گریانِ اُوست

وے ہمایوں دل کہ اُو بریانِ اُوست

از پئے ہر گریہ آخر خندہ ایست

مردِ آخر بیں مبارک بندہ ایست

ہر کجا آب رواں سبزہ بود

ہر کجا اشکِ رواں رحمت شود

(جناب مولانا، مثنوی، دفتر اول)

بڑی مبارک ہے، وہ آنکھ جو اس (خدا) کیلیے روتی ہے

وہ دل بہت مبارک ہے جو اس کیلیے جل بھن رہا ہے

ہر رونے کے بعد بالآخر ہنسی ہے

انجام پر نظر رکھنے والا مبارک انسان ہے

جہاں کہیں آب رواں ہو، سبزہ ہوتا ہے

جہاں کہیں اشک رواں ہوں رحمت ہوتی ہے

Blessed is the eye that cries out for Him (God)

Blessed is the heart that burns for him

There is laughter after every cry

Blessed is the man who watches over the end

Wherever the water is flowing, it is green

Wherever there are tears, there is mercy

Mathnavi

ذکرِ حق آمد غذا ایں روح را

مرہم آمد ایں دلِ مجروح را

(جناب مولانا)

حق تعالی کا ذکر ہی اس روح کی غذا ہے

اور زخمی دل کیلیے مرہم ہے

The remembrance of the Haq (Allah) came to feed the soul

The ointment came, O wounded heart

زور را بگذار زاری را گزیں

رحم سوئے زاری آید اے مہیں

باتضرع باش تا شاداں شوی

گریہ کن تا بے وباں خنداں شوی

(جناب مولانا)

اپنا زور (یا نخوت) ترک کردو اور گریہ زاری اختیار کرو

رحمت (رب کی) رونے کی طرف متوجہ ہوتی ہے

(بارگاهِ رب میں) باتضرع ہو یہاں تک کہ خوش ہوجاؤ

اور رونے والے بنو یہاں تک کہ شگفتہ ہوجاؤ

Put your force down and cry

Mercy (of Lord) comes to the lament

Pray till you happy

Cry until you laugh

غم چو بینی زود اِستغفار کن

غم بامر خالق آمد کارکن

(جناب مولانا)

جب تم غم محسوس کرو، جلد توبہ کرو

کہ غم حکمِ الہی سے کام کرتا ہے

When you feel sad, ask for forgiveness quickly

(As) Grief works by divine (Allah-Haq) command

Better Days Are Coming

Poet: Wish Belkin

If you fear losing somebody you love

like rejection would be no surprise

even if they never said it out loud

you just knew by the look in their eyes

accept that anxiety is due to some action

we took while sleepwalking through life

we would be lying if we tried denying

we cause our own misery and strife.

There is a voice inside of our heads

that tells us of what is to come

deja vu turned upside down

is what it may seem like to some

whether it's foresight or just premonition

it leaves you feeling quite strange

whisper or shout, it allows for no doubt

that your fortunes are due for a change.

The cyclical nature of the human condition

prevents us from being at ease

it bars the door to the peace that we seek

it's a lock without any keys

hope and fear are two sides of a coin

a little like Abel and Cane

it's not every day that just one will hold sway

in the end it adds up to the same.

Listen to this then, if you should find

your emotions won't give you a breather

I'm telling you, dreams don't often come true

but the nightmares rarely do either.

Quitting Is Not The Way

Poet: Julie Hebert

Go ahead and quit, if you can't see it through.

But don't come crying to me, when quitting is all you do.

Those who start to quit, when things start getting tough.

Start to see quitting, as a way to get out of stuff.

They never stick things through, and can't complete a thing.

Is this the type of person, you see yourself being?

Quitters never win, no matter what you've heard.

Have you ever heard a quitter, that is picked to be referred?

Of course that would be silly, why would someone refer?

Someone who can't even accomplish, they are their own saboteurs.

Next time you want to quit, think who you want to be.

Quitters never win, I want more than this for thee.

I want to see success, surround you every day.

I want you to be happy, and want to scream hooray!

I want you in a job, that makes you're world so good.

I want the work you do, feel just like childhood.

But most of all I want, to see you see things through.

But not because you should, because you really want too.

And I realize you may be scared, that you can't see it through.

But I'm hear to tell you, you can, do anything you put your mind to.

Don't Give It Up

Today life gave you another slap

but don't give it up

throwing your towel in the ring

for things gone wrong, for words that sting

'cos there must be another way

you will see it in the light of another day

When everything seems sour, not in your favour

look around until you find better flavour

so, don't just give but live it up

pick up the pieces, be tough

grind your teeth and turn another cheek

don't give it up, that's exactly what they seek

It's too easy to walk away

quitter never wins so you should better stay

look challenges straight in the eye

don't say yet the last good-bye

fight like an animal in a trap

but don't give it up

Keep-A-Trying

Poet: Nixon Waterman

Say "I will!" and then stick to it--

That's the only way to do it.

Don't build up a while and then

Tear the whole thing down again.

Fix the goal you wish to gain,

Then go at it heart and brain,

And, though clouds shut out the blue,

Do not dim your purpose true

With your sighing.

Stand erect, and, like a man,

Know "They can who think they can!"

Keep a-trying.

Had Columbus, half seas o'er,

Turned back to his native shore,

Men would not, to-day, proclaim

Round the world his deathless name.

So must we sail on with him

Past horizons far and dim,

Till at last we own the prize

That belongs to him who tries

With faith undying;

Own the prize that all may win

Who, with hope, through thick and thin

Keep a-trying.

Failure

Poet: Edgar Guest

Failure is ceasing to try!

"Tis accepting defeat

And to all you may meet

Giving voice to a sigh;

"Tis in thinking it vain

To attempt furthermore

And in bowing to pain

When the muscles grow sore.

Failure is stepping aside

From the burnt of the fray

In a weak-hearted way,

Being content to abide

In the shadows that fall,

And in being afraid

Out of life, after all,

Nothing's left to be made.

Failure is thinking despair,

The forsaking of hope,

And refusal to cope

With the day's round of care,

It's in heeding the cry,

"All is lost!" and to stay

With defeat and not try

For the happier day.
