Sher on Tasawwuf
Tasavvuf, or mysticism,
has been one of the most popular subjects of study, especially in the philosophy and literatures of the Orient. It relates with the divine whom one reaches through multiple routes. While Sufi poets and writers have pondered closely over these, others too have developed their own perspectives on tasavvuf. The following verses would bring you close to their understanding of these aspects.
bas jaan gayā maiñ tirī pahchān yahī hai
tū dil meñ to aatā hai samajh meñ nahīñ aatā
bas jaan gaya main teri pahchan yahi hai
tu dil mein to aata hai samajh mein nahin aata
tar-dāmanī pe shaiḳh hamārī na jā.iyo
dāman nichoḌ deñ to farishte vazū kareñ
do not be deceived by it damp disposition
if I wring my cloak, angels will do ablution
tar-damani pe shaiKH hamari na jaiyo
daman nichoD den to farishte wazu karen
do not be deceived by it damp disposition
if I wring my cloak, angels will do ablution
zāhir kī aañkh se na tamāshā kare koī
ho dekhnā to dīda-e-dil vā kare koī
zahir ki aankh se na tamasha kare koi
ho dekhna to dida-e-dil wa kare koi
