Masiha

#poetatheart

be-dam hue bīmār davā kyuuñ nahīñ dete 

tum achchhe masīhā ho shifā kyuuñ nahīñ dete 

( Faiz ) 

The ailing are silent, their breath slowing down 

The elixir they need you tightly grasp 

Healer you are but in name alone 

The cure they crave you are holding back 

( trans --- priya vks )

Prayer

sab kī puujā ek sī alag alag har riit 

masjid jaa.e maulvī koyal gaa.e giit 

(Nida Fazli)

In this we are alike that we pray 

How we pray sets us apart 

To the masjid hastens the maulvi 

The koel sings with all its heart
