Sher on Bekhudi
Ecstasy, or trance,
is a state of belonging beyond the limits of consciousness or self-obsession. This s a condition we generally associate with romantic and divine lovers. It also opens up ways to understand the philosophical meaning of human existence. Poets have developed fascinating perspectives on the experience of ecstasy. Here are some examples.
hosh vāloñ ko ḳhabar kyā be-ḳhudī kyā chiiz hai
ishq kiije phir samajhiye zindagī kyā chiiz hai
hosh walon ko KHabar kya be-KHudi kya chiz hai
ishq kije phir samajhiye zindagi kya chiz hai
