Sher on Khuda

The idea of God and

Godhood fascinates us all. Not only the creator and the mover, he is also the one in whom we confide, to whom we complain, and from whom we expect deliverance. The Sufi poets develop an altogether different rapport with God. Here are some verses that you would find of interest.

kashtiyāñ sab kināre pe pahuñch jaatī haiñ

nāḳhudā jin nahīñ un ḳhudā hotā hai

kashtiyan sab ki kinare pe pahunch jati hain

naKHuda jin ka nahin un ka KHuda hota hai

Ameer Minai
